CONNECTING TO THE VDSL LINE INTERFACE
The XC-RP300 supports two VDSL connections. Each VDSL connection supports
communication over distances of up to 4,000 ft (1,219 m) using 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair
wire. Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environment and type
or gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the XC-RP300 VDSL Interfaces;
The XC-RP300 has two VDSL connections: a primary and a secondary. The Primary (Pri) is an
NT type interface. The Secondary (Sec) is an LT type link. The primary connection terminates
the VDSL link to a LT or VDSL Switch. The secondary connection forwards the high-speed
connection to a NT type connection that can be an NT 300 or the Primary on another XC-
RP300.
To function properly, the units must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned,
metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal
equalization equipment are not acceptable. The interface is bipolar making the TIP and RING
connection insensitive to polarity.
TESTING NOTE: The XC-RP300 can be bench tested by connecting the Primary VDSL port to the
Secondary VDSL port using at least 100 feet of telephone cable. An attenuator can be used in
place of the 100 foot cable. Contact GDI Communications for availability.
