HDSL TECHNOLOGY
HDSL is the core technology for ADC’s WorldDSL line of LTUs, UTUs, and ETUs. Rate selectable HDSL
enables these units to transmit and receive digital data at various rates over various distances on one twisted pair
of copper wire. Both outbound and inbound signals are delivered on the same pair of wires by using echo
cancellation techniques. The transmitted signal is canceled at the receiver by precisely predicting the amount of
signal echo, then subtracting it from the overall input signal. ADC’s market leading HDSL-based products tolerate
crosstalk, and operate not only on continuous unobstructed pairs of wires, but also on cables with mixed wire
gauges and bridged taps.
TRANSMISSION RANGES
Transmission ranges assume the presence of noise according to the ETSI model described in TS 101 135. The
expected Bit Error Rate (BER) using this model is 1x10
-7
. The transmission ranges in such a noise environment
at the various HDSL line rates over one twisted-pair of 0.4 mm and 0.51 mm copper wire are listed in Table 2.
The no noise transmission ranges are listed in “Specifications” on page 9.
