ACCESS JACKS
DESCRIPTION
DS1 RX Bantam jack connection from DS1 receive to test equipment. Bipolar DS1 signals
from external test equipment can be applied to the RX jack for testing.
DS1 TX Bantam jack connection from DS1 transmit to test equipment. Bipolar DS1 signals
from external test equipment can be applied to the TX jack for testing.
Note: The DS1 RX and DS1 TX jacks may be used with 22 AWG Plastic Insulated
Cable (PIC) up to 655 feet in length. Access for drop or insert of DS1 signals
towards the network (DS3 interface) or toward the customer (DS1 distribution
modules) for monitoring and intrusive testing is configured through the Craft
Interface or the TL1 interface.
