OMPATIBILITY
The HLU-432 is designed to mount in 200 or 400 mechanics shelves. For a list of compatible shelves, see
“Appendix C - Compatibility” on page 60
All generations of HiGain HLU and HRU modules are compatible with each other. To take advantage of the
enhanced features of newer HiGain doublers, refer to
“HiGain Doubler Circuit Deployment” on page 60
A
PPLICATIONS
HiGain systems provide a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy method for delivering T1 High Capacity Digital Service
(HCDS) over metallic pairs.
•
The service is deployed over two unconditioned, non-loaded copper pairs, yet it demonstrates a quality that
is competitive with fiber optics.
•
Conventional, in-line, T1 repeaters are not required.
•
Cable pair conditioning, pair separation, and bridged tap removal are not required.
In general, HiGain systems:
•
Operate with any number of other T1, POTS, Digital Data Service (DDS) or other HiGain systems sharing
the same cable binder group
•
Can be used with customers requiring DS1 service on a temporary or permanent basis
•
Provide a means of quickly deploying service in advance of fiber optic transmission systems.
With a HiGain system, service can be provided within hours. Fiber optic systems can be installed incrementally
and cut-over from the installed HiGain system when convenient to do so.
HiGain Doubler Applications
For applications without doublers, the HLU-432 is directly connected to the HRU by the two HDSL cable pairs.
The HLU-432 is compatible with all HiGain HRUs.
For doubler applications, one to four doublers may be used in the HDSL loops between the HLU and HRU.
•
If the HRU is line-powered, the HLU-432 can power three doublers and the remote unit (HRU-402) for a total
of four spans.
•
If the HRU is locally powered, the HLU can power up to four doublers for a total of five spans.
These extended ranges are only available when using the HDU-409, HDU-404, or HDU-407
micro-doublers with the HRU-402 remote units. Legacy doublers (HDU-451, HDU-439, and
HDU-437) cannot be used in circuits with more than two doublers in any line or local power
system. For compatibility guidelines on mixing newer doublers with older HRU and HLU
models, refer to
“HiGain Doubler Circuit Deployment” on page 60
