Can I install broadband on a phone line that has a switchboard?

Question

I work in a small hotel and the managers are wanting broadband in the flat which has the same phone line. The phone line goes into a switchboard. Am I still able to install broadband onto this line providing I put all the relevant microfilters etc on first?

Also some of the phones that run off the switchboard are powered from the mains, (cordless) someone told me this could affect comething. Is that right?

Answer 1

The phone lines from a switchboard are very different from the lines that come from your local phone company. There is a demarcation point where the phone company leaves off and the switchboard picks up. It would require special equipment to make this possible. In situations like this a dedicated connection is made between the demarcation point and the location where the DSL line is needed by bypassing the switchboard. Because there is probably extra wiring inside of the walls, this can be done relatively easy.

Answer 2

not really.

Microfilters are low pass filters to allow voice through. So if you put those on the line you will definately kill broadband. You wouldn't want to put a load of microfilters on the poutputs of your PBX - that is really a cumbersome solution. I'd put in a master socket with a built in microfilter and CAT5 outlet all in one.

The switch board will have solid start switching in it, it will likely not cope with the high frequencies of broadband. You'll either get no BB signal on the upside of the PBX or you'd trash the rest of the exchange.

You're best bet would be to use the emergency line to the flat - these are often hardwired in the PBX so they can still dial out during power failure.

Yes I believe so. I work in a hotel and we have a switchboard and we also use broadband.
