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.
