3.1 CONNECTING THE LINE INTERFACE
The Model 1069 supports communication over a distance of up to 10,000
ft (3 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire or Cat5+.
Note Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on
the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the Model 1069 interfaces.
1. To function properly, the Model 1069 must be connected with the
VDSL2 DSLAM using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire,
between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run
through signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2. The Model 1069 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack that can be
used on the VDSL2 link interface. The VDSL2 link interface is a two-
wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the Model
1069's VDSL2 interface jack.
The RJ-45 connector on the Model 1069's twisted pair interface is polar-
ity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin rela-
tionship is shown in Figure 4.

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-
tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
