Extend POTS Telephone Service Over Singlemode Fiber

The PK4S-RM POTS-to-fiber converter installation kit provides a practical solution for extending analog telephone communications over singlemode fiber. The system converts the POTS connection for transmission over fiber between locations, allowing telephone service to be extended beyond the limitations of copper cabling.

The PK4S-RM uses singlemode duplex fiber with a distance capability of up to 20 km.

FXO and FXS POTS Connectivity

The PK4S-RM uses an FXO/FXS configuration for connecting POTS telephone equipment across the fiber link.

  • FXO: Exchange/PBX side
  • FXS: Subscriber/telephone side
  • Function: POTS
  • Fiber: Singlemode
  • Fiber configuration: Duplex

The selector guide lists one FXO and one FXS interface for the PK4S-RM configuration.

Singlemode Fiber Transmission

Singlemode fiber provides the extended reach required for longer-distance POTS applications. The PK4S-RM is specified for up to 20 km of singlemode duplex fiber transmission when the appropriate length of fiber optic cable is used.

All units in the VERSITRON 4-channel POTS converter family use LC optical connectors.

Rack-Mount POTS Fiber Installation

The PK4S-RM is designed for rack-mount installation. The selector guide notes that rack-mount kits include one 2-slot chassis and one standalone enclosure, providing flexibility for centralized POTS-to-fiber installations.

The PK4S-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
