6. HDSL DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES
The ADTRAN HDSL system is designed to provide
DS1-based services over loops designed to comply
with carrier service area (CSA) guidelines. CSA
deployment guidelines are given below.
1. All loops are non-loaded only.
2. For loops with 26-AWG cable, the maximum loop
length including bridged tap lengths is 9␣ kft.
3. For loops with 24-AWG cable, the maximum loop
length including bridged tap lengths is 12 kft.
4. Any single bridged tap is limited to 2 kft.
5. Total bridged tap length is limited to 2.5 kft.
6. The total length of multi-gauge cable containing
26-AWG cable must not exceed the following:
12 - {(3*L
26
)/9} - L
BTAP
(in kft)
L
26
= total length of 26-AWG cable excluding
bridged taps (in kft)
L
BTAP
= total length of all bridged taps (in kft)
This deployment criteria is summarized in the chart
shown in Figure 15.

Loop loss per kft for other wire is summarized in
Table E.
Recommended maximum local loop loss information
for PIC cable at 70
°
F, 135
Ω
, resistive termination is
provided in Table F.
An approximation for the maximum amount of
wideband noise on an HDSL local loop as measured
by a 50 kbps filter is
≤
31 dBrn.
An approximation for the maximum level of impulse
noise as measured using a 50 kbps filter on an HDSL
loop is
≤
50 dBrn.
NOTE
These approximations are to be used as
guidelines only and may vary slightly on
different loops. Adhering to the guidelines
should produce performance in excess of
10
-7
␣ BER.
