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.
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.
