A home run is simply a dedicated line run from the ADSL splitter to a jack serving your ADSL modem. The DSL and POTS signals and wires are separated by a DSL/POTS Splitter. It may require a completely new wire pair dedicated for this purpose or it may be connected to a previously unused pair in an existing IW (inside wiring). It is important that it must not be connected to any jack on the premise other than the one used for the ADSL modem.

The actual task of installing the home run / splitter combo, in most cases, is a straightforward simple job if you are good with hand tools and have a basic idea of electricity.

The details of installing a home run are beyond the scope of a FAQ, but there are several links in the FAQ section to web sites that can provide the detailed instructions needed to complete the task of installing a home run.
