Terminator - Far End Terminating Device

“Terminate" wasted time, money and dispatches Just attach the battery-powered Terminator to the far end of a cable pair. Together with a single 990 CopperPro, Terminator provides VF and WB terminations and tones for terminated transmission testing. It also supports the 990DSL’s composite tone generation capability for high-speed ADSL, special services, and wideband longitudinal balance tests.

Features:

Saves money and optimizes your workforce with “one tech out" terminated testing of out-of-service pairs

High-speed acceptance/qualification tests, including loop attenuation – a must for HDSL2/4

Robust error checking at start-up eliminates time-consuming false starts and assures reliable communication with the CopperPro

High-speed testing makes technicians more efficient; the CopperPro’s unique composite tone capability can sweep thousands of frequencies in seconds

Why Terminator and CopperPro together are the only proven way to qualify HDSL
Advances in DSL (digital subscriber line) technologies have had a dramatic impact on the availability and deployment of broadband service. High-speed links carrying voice, data and video services can be deployed quickly over existing outside plant copper cable. While some circuits turn up with minimal effort, many suffer problems from the outset. Traditional testing methods will no longer do the job. HDSL2 and HDSL4 don’t use repeating signals that can be replicated with BERT and Nyquist tests used in the past. Instead, they use complex TCPAM technology, which requires a different testing procedure. The 990DSL CopperPro and Terminator feature automatic tests designed specifically to address this problem. CopperPro and Terminator prequalify pairs for HDSL2 or HDSL4 in less than two minutes, and help locate facilities problems that generate errors or cause circuits to fail.
