Extend POTS Telephone Service Over Singlemode Fiber
The PK1S-RM 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 connection.
The singlemode fiber configuration provides a transmission capability of up to 20 km, making the PK1S-RM suitable for longer-distance POTS connections.
FXO and FXS POTS Interfaces
The PK1S-RM 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 provides a point-to-point analog telephone connection over singlemode fiber.
Singlemode Fiber Transmission
The PK1S-RM uses singlemode duplex fiber with a maximum transmission capability of 20 km. This makes it suitable for connecting telephone equipment across buildings, facilities, campuses, and other locations where longer-distance fiber transmission is required.
All units in the 1-channel POTS converter family use LC optical connectors.
Rack-Mount POTS Fiber Installation
The PK1S-RM is designed specifically for rack-mount installation. The VERSITRON selector guide specifies that rack-mount kits include one 2-slot chassis and one standalone enclosure, providing a flexible installation configuration for centralized communications equipment.
1-Channel POTS to Fiber Applications
The PK1S-RM can be used for:
- PBX-to-remote telephone connections
- Building-to-building telephone links
- Long-distance POTS extensions
- Centralized telephone equipment installations
- Remote subscriber connections
- Commercial and industrial facilities
- Fiber-based telephone infrastructure
