Compatibility
The 239 H4R is used in conjunction with any T1.418-compliant, span-powering H4TU-C and
H4TU-R.
Due to span power limits, the number of 239 H4R units permitted in the circuit depends on
the type of H4TU-C in use. A 239 H4R provides DS1 transport on all revised resistance design
(RRD) 26 AWG loops, 24 AWG loops, or both. Three 239 H4R repeaters can be added to extend
the range of a loop.
The following criteria determines repeater placement:
• On single 239 H4R loops, consider the attenuation properties of the loop segment.
• For a circuit requiring two 239 H4Rs, satisfy both segment attenuation and segment DC
resistance requirements.
• For a circuit requiring three 239 H4Rs, satisfy all H4TU-C and H4TU-R hardware
requirements, segment attenuation, and segment DC resistance requirements.
Refer to the
on page 14 of this practice and the applicable
installation and maintenance practice for the H4TU-C being deployed.
