Introduction to Digital Subscriber's Line (DSL) Chapter 2 Telephone
Introduction to Digital Subscriber’s Line (DSL) Professor Fu Li, Ph.D., P.E. © Chapter 2 Telephone Infrastructure · Telephone line dates back to Bell in 1875 · Digital Transmission technology using complex algorithm based on DSP and VLSI to compensate impairments common to phone lines. · Phone line carries the single voice signal with 3.4 KHz bandwidth, DSL conveys 100 Compressed voice signals or a video signals. 1 · 15% phones require upgrade activities. · Phone company spent approximately 1 trillion US dollars to construct lines; · 700 millions are in service in 1997, 900 millions by 2001. · Most lines will support 1 Mb/s for DSL and many will support well above 1Mb/s data rate. Typical Voice Network 2 THE ACCESS NETWORK • DSL is really an access technology, and the associated DSL equipment is deployed in the local access network. • The access network consists of the local loops and associated equipment that connects the service user location to the central office. • This network typically consists of cable bundles carrying thousands of twisted-wire pairs to feeder distribution interfaces (FDIs). Two primary ways traditionally to deal with long loops: • 1.Use loading coils to modify the electrical characteristics of the local loop, allowing better quality voice-frequency transmission over extended distances (typically greater than 18,000 feet). • Loading coils are not compatible with the higher frequency attributes of DSL transmissions and they must be removed before DSL-based services can be provisioned. 3 Two primary ways traditionally to deal with long loops • 2. Set up remote terminals where the signals could be terminated at an intermediate point, aggregated and backhauled to the central office. -

Ethernet/Category 5 Network Cabling Guide Prepared by SJ Wilkinson (August 2002) Based on Steve Derose’S Guide to CAT5 Network Wiring (See Later Web Reference)
Ethernet/Category 5 Network Cabling Guide Prepared by SJ Wilkinson (August 2002) Based on Steve DeRose’s Guide to CAT5 Network Wiring (See later Web Reference) Networks A Local Area Network (LAN) can be as simple as two computers, each having a network interface card (NIC) or network adapter and running network software, connected together with a crossover cable. Here the crossover cable would have a plug at either end to connect into the NIC socket at the back of each computer. The next step up would be a network consisting of three or more computers and a hub. Each of the computers is plugged into the hub with a straight-thru cable (the crossover function is performed by the hub). For a small network the straight-thru cables would have plugs at either end – one to connect to the computer and one to the hub. For larger networks wall cabling, wall sockets and patch cables are used. A CAT5 "patch panel" is used at the hub end where all your wires come together and provides a group of sockets for further cables. Straight-thru patch cables connect computers to sockets (jacks). Straight-thru wall cables connect sockets to the patch panel. Straight-thru patch cables connect the patch panel to the hub. Patch panels often make network cabling neater but are not essential as (a) wiring a plug is no harder than wiring a panel; (b) you still need cables to go from the panel to the hub; and (c) it adds extra connections, so lowers reliability. 1 Planning your Network Pick a location for your hub, preferably centred to keep cable runs shorter. -

April 2005 900152-001 - Rev 00 How to make category 5 twisted-pair network cables Introduction The purpose of this document is to show you how to make the two kinds Stranded wire patch cables are often specified for cable segments running of category 5 twisted-pair network cables that can be used to network one from a wall jack to a PC and for patch panels. They are more flexible than or more countertops together with a jukebox to form quick and simple solid core wire. However, the rational for using it is that the constant local area network (LAN). flexing of patch cables may wear-out solid core cable-break it. Also, stranded cable is susceptible to degradation from moisture infiltration, may use an alternate color code, and should not be used for cables longer LANs simplified than 3 Meters (about 10 feet). A LAN can be as simple as two units, each having a network interface card CAT 5 cable has four twisted (NIC) or network adapter and running network software, connected pairs of wire for a total of eight together with a crossover cable. The next step up would be a network individually insulated wires. consisting of (the hub performs the crossover function). Each pair is color coded with one wire having a solid color (blue, orange, green, or brown) twisted around a second wire with a white background and a stripe of the same color. The solid colors may have a white stripe in some cables. Cable colors are commonly described using the background color followed by the color of the stripe; e.g., white-orange is a cable with a white background and an orange stripe. -

INTRODUCTION: Network, according to Thesaurus Dictionary is “any complex, interlocking system”. According to the Dictionary web, for radio and television, “is a group of tramsmitting stations linked by wire or microwaves so that the same program can be broadcast”, for electricity, “is an arrangement of con- ducting elements, as resistors,capacitors, or inductors, connected by conducting wire”. In telecommunications, network is a system containing any combination of computers, printers, terminals, audio, visual display devices and telephones, interconnected by cables to transmit or receive information. A network can consist of two computers, or millions of computers connected with cables or optical fibers, that are spread over a large geographical area, such as telephone lines, active equipment, radio, television and all visual or communication devices. -
Getting Physical with Ethernet
ETHERNET GETTING PHYSICAL STANDARDS • The Importance of Standards • Standards are necessary in almost every business and public service entity. For example, before 1904, fire hose couplings in the United States were not standard, which meant a fire department in one community could not help in another community. The transmission of electric current was not standardized until the end of the nineteenth century, so customers had to choose between Thomas Edison’s direct current (DC) and George Westinghouse’s alternating current (AC). IEEE 802 STANDARD • IEEE 802 is a family of IEEE standards dealing with local area networks and metropolitan area networks. • More specifically, the IEEE 802 standards are restricted to networks carrying variable-size packets. By contrast, in cell relay networks data is transmitted in short, uniformly sized units called cells. Isochronous , where data is transmitted as a steady stream of octets, or groups of octets, at regular time intervals, are also out of the scope of this standard. The number 802 was simply the next free number IEEE could assign,[1] though “802” is sometimes associated with the date the first meeting was held — February 1980. • The IEEE 802 family of standards is maintained by the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC). The most widely used standards are for the Ethernet family, Token Ring, Wireless LAN, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs. An individual working group provides the focus for each area.

Cat 6 Cable: Copper's Last Stand?
Cat 6 Cable: Copper’s Last Stand? Cat 6 Cable is craft intensive! Advanced Installation & service skills are a MUST. 1 Cat6 Cable: Copper's Last Stand? Nope, Not yet! 10Gig IP to the rescue! What is Category 6? Unlike earlier cabling standards Category 6 is a 200MHz classification. The Category 6 standard is an integral part of the 2nd editions of the ISO 11801, TIA 568A and En5017. Initially there were only two parameters proposed for Category 6. These were that any Category 6 solution must use the existing RJ45 plug and jack format. The second was that the Powersum ACR must be positive to 200 MHz. As the standards have developed, additional parameters have been added. These standards continue to be developed and represent the pinnacle of performance for structured cabling systems. The intention behind the Category 6 standard is to provide the state-of-the-art 4-pair cabling system. The different and more stringent handling requirements for Category 6 components demand additional training, even for installers well used to the demands of Category 5e installation practices. Time, care and a high level of technical expertise are essential when installing Category 6. Even slight variations in the termination of links can have a massive effect on the overall performance of the system. It is for these reasons, that it is essential to select an installer who has an existing track record of successfully installing Category 6. With the comprehensive backing of Molex, under the Certified Installer (CI) program, SMT has the experience and track record you need to be sure that your Category 6 solution will perform for you now and in the future.
