1-Port VDSL2 (Annex A) Mini-Physical Interface Module Overview
Very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) technology is part of the xDSL family of modem
technologies, which provide faster data transmission over a single flat untwisted or twisted pair of copper
wires.
The SRX210 Services Gateway supports the 1-Port VDSL2 (Annex A) Mini-Physical Interface Module
(Mini-PIM). The 1-Port VDSL2 (Annex A) Mini-PIM carries the Ethernet backplane. When the Mini-PIM is
plugged into the chassis, the Mini-PIM connects to one of the ports of the baseboard switch. The 1-Port
VDSL2 (Annex A) Mini-PIM on the SRX Series Services Gateway provides ADSL backward compatibility.
The 1-Port VDSL2 (Annex A) Mini-PIM is compatible with the ITU-T G.993.2 (VDSL2) standard.
Figure 15 on page 72
shows the 1-Port VDSL2 (Annex A) Mini-PIM.
