Connection of Data and Telecommunications Cables

Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.

The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.

Ports

Safety Status

 

 

V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530,

SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:

X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT,

Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually

Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2,

up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.

DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice

 

E&M

 

xDSL (without feeding voltage), Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1

TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:

Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from telecommunications networks are possible.

FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber)

TNV-2

Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:

 

 

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the

 

 

limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone

 

 

ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from

 

 

telecommunication networks are not possible. These

 

 

ports are not permitted to be directly connected to

 

 

external telephone and data lines.

 

 

 

FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL

TNV-3

Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:

(with feeding voltage), U-Interface

 

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the

ISDN

 

 

limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone

 

 

 

 

ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from

 

 

telecommunication networks are possible.

 

 

 

Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer.

Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.

Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.

When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.

The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.

T1, E1 specifications

RAD Data Communication specializes in providing advanced networking solutions, particularly for E1 and T1 lines. These digital transmission systems are pivotal in telecommunications, allowing for efficient data transfer, voice communication, and multimedia services.

E1 and T1 lines are standardized digital circuits offering capacity for multiple channels. A T1 line, commonly used in North America, accommodates data transmission at a rate of 1.544 Mbps, while an E1 line, predominantly used in Europe and other parts of the world, supports a rate of 2.048 Mbps. Each line can carry multiple voice channels—up to 24 for T1 and 32 for E1—making them suitable for both voice and data services.

One of the main features of RAD's E1 and T1 solutions is their versatility. These lines can be utilized in various applications, including traditional telephony, private branch exchanges (PBXs), and modern Voice over IP (VoIP) networks. RAD's solutions enable users to seamlessly migrate from older systems to more integrated and efficient digital networks without sacrificing performance.

RAD Data Communication focuses on ensuring reliability and robustness in their E1 and T1 offerings. With built-in error detection mechanisms, such as cyclic redundancy check (CRC), these systems maintain high levels of data integrity. In addition, RAD’s devices often incorporate advanced features like Adaptive Rate Control, allowing for dynamic adjustments to accommodate varying network conditions.

Technology-wise, RAD integrates advanced protocols and features, such as Frame Relay and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), into their E1 and T1 equipment. This flexibility supports the transmission of diverse data types, ensuring users can transition smoothly between legacy systems and modern technologies.

Another characteristic that sets RAD's products apart is their management capabilities. Many devices come equipped with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support, enabling remote monitoring and management. This feature is essential for network administrators seeking to maintain optimal performance and quickly address potential issues.

Moreover, RAD's E1 and T1 solutions are designed for easy integration into existing network infrastructures. Their compact and modular design allows for straightforward installation and scalability, accommodating future growth and technology advancements without major overhauls.

In summary, RAD Data Communication’s E1 and T1 solutions are characterized by their reliability, versatility, and advanced management features. Designed to meet the evolving needs of communication networks, they ensure that users can take full advantage of both traditional and modern telecommunications technologies.
