From the project
Surge protection adapter for VDSL modems
VDSL Surge Protection Adapter =============================
Protects VDSL modems and routers from surges, like the ones induced by lightning Negligible loss of VDSL signal quality Compatible with ADSL, VDSL, VDSL2, VDSL2-Vectoring, 17a, 35b, probably also G.fast Not compatible with phone lines that have more than 60 VDC of idle voltage These are for example ISDN lines (they usually have around 90 VDC idle voltage) Also affects some old analog POTS lines
