The Patton Model TD-5402-L5B provides electrical isolation and extension of T1 and E1 signals. These units are ideally suited for T1/E1 trunk or backhaul or for the extension of ISDN Primary BRI, PBX and SATCOM links. Traditional E1 cabling is limited to a maximum distance of 4800 ft (1.46 km), but multimode optics on the unit can extend the distance to 1.2 miles (2 km), while singlemode optics can further extend the distance to 20km.
The unit can be used in areas of high electrical noise or in and out of RF shielded enclosures. The fiber optic cable is not susceptible to interference caused by impulse noise, crosstalk, or EMI. Privacy of communications is also enhanced because the fiber optic cable does not radiate any emissions.
