The DS1 Loop Extender (DLX) module is used to extend a DS1
up to 655 feet to a digital cross-connect (DSX-1). The DLX
receives a non-return to zero (NRZ) 1.544 Mbps signal from the
DS3 Soneplex multiplexer module, converts the NRZ signal to a
bipolar DS1 signal and transmits a DS1 signal that meets the
industry standard DSX-1 template boundaries as defined by TR-
NWT-000499.
ADC’s Soneplex system is the lowest total cost solution for
carriers to grow their T1 business services. Focused on providing
flexible, end-to-end solutions, the Soneplex system saves carriers
money on T1-based services over fiber or copper, using HDSL,
ADSL, traditional T1 repeater or Optical DS2 technology, in a
single platform. From operations, maintenance, provisioning
and high-speed backbone connections to central office space and
cabling, the Soneplex system is designed to take costs out of
today’s T1 delivery approach, adding profit to your bottom line.

NETWORK
The DS1 Loop Extender provides a DS1 signal interface to additional network elements
(digital loop carriers, channel banks, etc.). When fully configured, a Soneplex Broadband
chassis will support up to 28 DLX modules. The network DSX interface is a bidirectional,
industry standard DS1 interface for use with cable lengths up to 655 feet. The DLX unit
continuously monitors the performance of the DS1 from the customer location for loss of
signal (LOS), bipolar violations (BPVs) and bit error ratio (BER). The DLX collects the DS1
performance information and then reports it to the main processor unit, which in turn
provides the interface to an operation support system (OSS).
