Table 8 on page 26 provides a guide for the loss that occurs when using
various cable gauges at 196 kHz and 135
Ω
. It applies to the HDSL cable pairs
between the COT and the HDU, and between the HDU and the RT.
To achieve optimum performance, make the electrical length (196 kHz loss)
of all HDU spans as close to equal as possible. This results in the highest
operating loop margins. If it is not possible to make all spans equal, choose
span lengths that reduce the total power consumption of the CPT that powers
the HDU. Do this by minimizing the length of Span 1 and Span 2. Use
Table 8
on page 26 when you calculate the electrical length of each span.
The HDU-409 has a range of up to 35 dB loss at 196 kHz on each of the four
HDSL loops. A list of HDSL signal cable losses for various cable gauges at
196 kHz and 135
Ω
is provided in Table 8 . The table is applicable to HDSL
cable pairs running between the HLU and the HDU-409 and between the
HDU-409 and another HDU or HRU.
