7. HDSL4 DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES
The different segments of an HDSL4 circuit are defined
in

Figure 26. HDSL4 Circuit Segments
The ADTRAN HDSL4 system provides DS1-based
services over loops designed to comply with the guide-
lines given below. These guidelines apply to the
following circuit configurations:
• a single segment or an HDSL4 circuit with no
H4Rs,
• a circuit having two segments (with one H4R), or
• a circuit having three segments (with two H4Rs).

The guidelines reflected herein are for worst-case
scenarios, that is, for loops that contain a maximum
amount of disturbers, noise, etc. Actual deployment
guidelines may vary based on local policy. Please refer
to those guidelines on an as-necessary basis to ensure
optimum performance.
Designing a circuit with loop attenuation greater than
the recommended maximum loss may result in compro-
mised reliability of that loop. Follow the guidelines in
in this section to ensure that the circuit meets basic
requirements:
1. All loops are nonloaded only.
2. Any single bridged tap is limited to 2 kft.
3. Total bridged tap length is limited to 2.5 kft.
4. Bridge tap within 1000 feet of units may affect
performance of the circuit.
