I have a Back-UPS XS 1500 LCD. I can get ADSL where I am at now and was thinking about getting it. Talked to the ISP and they said they give you a splitter. How can I connect the slpitter to my APC? Will I have to plug the splitter into the wall then one line go to the APC and the other line go into another surge protector? Or can I just connect the splitter to the out side on the APC?

Yeah, in that case you could bring the cable from the wall to the Back-UPS out to the splitter & then to your phone/modem. So just put the UPS in between that wall jack and the splitter.

I'm not an expert on ADSL, though there is a degree of signal loss when utilizing a splitter. The data line protection of the Back-UPS unit will also cause a bit of signal loss. Using both simultaneously could cause enough degradation that you might have connection issues, in which case you might have to look for alternate options or see if your ISP can provide a booster.
I'm not exactly sure how your setup is designed or where the splitter would need to be placed (only your provider could tell you that part), though you could probably connect the incoming cable to your Back-UPS, then connect the splitter to the UPS like you said. Both data lines on the splitter will be protected this way; the path would be Back-UPS > splitter > equipment.
The only other option would be to purchase a separate ProtectNet device to protect just the data lines independently of the UPS.
Either way, using both a splitter and a surge protector on the cable will reduce some of the signal strength, though whether or not it's an issue... Only one way to find out. 🙂
