Abstract
The invention described herein relates to a splitter bypass system and method for monitoring, testing and maintaining copper loops and lines. Switching devices are implemented in the present invention to bypass a low pass filter and/or a high pass filter in the splitter, thereby actuating bypass functions to bypass a splitter or portions thereof for enabling pure metallic access to the loop, digital equipment, voice equipment, and/or test equipment. The splitter bypass function can be used with a conventional splitter in the current voice and digital system. The splitter bypass operation includes selecting a copper loop or portions thereof for monitoring, testing and maintenance.
