Extend POTS Telephone Service Over Singlemode Fiber

The PK1S POTS-to-fiber converter installation kit provides a fiber optic solution for extending analog telephone service over longer distances. The FXO unit is installed at the exchange or PBX side, while the FXS unit is installed at the subscriber or telephone side of the link.

The singlemode fiber configuration provides a transmission capability of up to 20 km.

FXO and FXS POTS Interfaces

The PK1S provides one FXO interface and one FXS interface for a single POTS telephone connection.

  • FXO: Exchange/PBX side
  • FXS: Subscriber/telephone side
  • Function: POTS
  • Channels: 1

This configuration provides a straightforward point-to-point analog telephone connection over singlemode fiber.

Singlemode Fiber Transmission

The PK1S uses singlemode duplex fiber for POTS transmission distances up to 20 km. This makes the installation kit appropriate for longer-distance telephone connections where multimode fiber does not provide the required reach.

The VERSITRON selector guide specifies LC optical connectors for all units in the 1-channel POTS converter family.

Standalone POTS Fiber Installation

The PK1S is configured for standalone installation, providing a self-contained solution for point-to-point telephone links.

For centralized installations requiring rack mounting, the corresponding PK1S-RM model provides the same 1-channel POTS, singlemode duplex, 20 km configuration in a rack-mount installation.

1-Channel POTS to Fiber Applications

The PK1S can be used for:

  • Building-to-building telephone connections
  • PBX-to-remote telephone links
  • Long-distance POTS extensions
  • Remote subscriber connections
  • Commercial and industrial facilities
  • Campus communications
  • Fiber-based telephone infrastructure
