7. HDSL2 DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES
The ADTRAN HDSL2 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:
• All loops are nonloaded only.
• For loops with 26-AWG cable, the maximum loop
length including bridged tap lengths is 9 kft.
• For loops with 24-AWG cable, the maximum loop
length including bridged tap lengths is 12 kft.
• Any single bridged tap is limited to 2 kft.
• Total bridged tap length is limited to 2.5 kft.
• The total length of multigauge cable containing 26-
AWG cable must not exceed the following:
12 - {(3*L
26) / (9- LBTAP)} (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)
These deployment criteria are summarized in the chart
shown in Figure 27.

Loop loss per kilofoot for other wire is summarized in
Tab le 8.
NOTE
These approximations are to be used as guide-
lines only and may vary slightly on different
loops. Adhering to the guidelines should
produce performance in excess of 10
-7
BER.
