ADC Introduces BroadWire 528 ADSL Splitter for FCC-Mandated Line Sharing.Business Editors SUPERCOMM 2000 Booth No. 7439 MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2000 High Density, Patent-Pending Cable Management, and Superior Performance for Co-Location Applications An innovative ADSL splitter See POTS splitter. , introduced today by ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. (Nasdaq: ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ; www.adc.com), will make the issue of line sharing a lot less complicated for broadband communications service providers. The BroadWire splitter is on display in Booth No.7439 at SuperComm, June 6-8 in Atlanta. The ADC BroadWire(TM) 528 ADSL splitter is a high-density platform optimized for DSL/telephony line sharing applications, thus allowing subscribers to access voice and high-speed data services simultaneously over a single copper twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). . This application is particularly important in the wake of the FCC's recent ruling mandating the sharing of copper local loop facilities among incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and data local exchange carriers (DLECs). The BroadWire 528 system's density - highest in the industry at 528 lines per 12-inch chassis - saves valuable central office "real estate." Also, its unique, patent-pending cable management system simplifies maintenance and support by allowing easy circuit identification and access, while protecting the cables. And, to maintain performance at maximum density, the BroadWire 528 splitter internally grooms signals to maximize utilization of each twisted pair. The system's powerful, flexible design is based on ADC's years of expertise in central office cable management and demarcation between service providers. "The BroadWire family has been specifically designed to help service providers expand their use of existing copper infrastructure to stay competitive in today's deregulated markets," said Rob Cain, senior product manager for ADC's IP Connectivity products. "Its high density is a critical advantage in increasingly crowded central offices." The FCC's line sharing mandate challenges carriers in both operations and performance, bringing faster growth, more frequent moves and changes and stricter demands for bandwidth separation. Also, the resultant increased competition heightens customer expectations and the need for faster, more effective troubleshooting and repair. ADC's BroadWire solution meets these, and other, real-world demands. The BroadWire 528, which is designed to comply with NEBS Level 3, ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. T1.413 Issue 2, G.Lite and ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union G.992.1 standards, becomes commercially available in June 2000. Also available is the BroadWire 24, a 24-line front- or rear-cabled platform designed for multi-dwelling unit, outside plant, and controlled environmental vault deployment. Earlier this year, ADC introduced the BroadWire 240, a front-cabled ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Sophia Antipolis technical park, Nice, France, www.etsi.org) A non-profit membership organization founded in 1988, dedicated to standardizing information and communication technologies (ICT) throughout Europe. (European Telecommunications Standards Institute (body) European Telecommunications Standards Institute - (ETSI) A European version of the ITU-T(?). ) compatible platform optimized for deployment in European, Middle Eastern and Asian networks. Deployment of DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary lines to residences and small businesses is expected to increase from 300,000 lines in 1999 to over 2.5 million in 2000 and more than 13.9 million lines by 2004 (Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. and McKinsey & Company). ADC offers a full range of equipment and software designed to support this escalating growth. ADC's range of products includes connectivity equipment for DSL interconnection and co-location, as well as complete access and transport platforms for the high-speed delivery of DSL services to homes and businesses.
