5.20.3 Determining if Installation of TN-S900-A is Needed
This subsection provides steps to determine if you should install the TN-S900-A, and an example that illustrates
what to look for when performing these steps.
5.20.3.1 Determining if Installation of TN-S900-A is Needed
Use these guidelines to determine if installing an attenuator is appropriate. (These include references to an exam-
ple in the next subsection.)
Determine the subscriber's loop length.
1.
If the loop is greater than 3500 ft. do NOT install an attenuator, otherwise proceed to Step
Note:
Installing an attenuator on a loop greater than 3500 ft.in length can degrade ADSL
performance.
Determine the ADSL Power Requirements (shown in 5.20.3.2).
