[AusNOG] Telstra ISDN 10/20/30 (E1)

[Peter Childs]

I've had E1's delivered on telstra mux's in the basement run to the 8th + floor, and thats not unusual.

They may have some logical reasoning behind where they want to place their optical mux's.   Typically the closer to the customer handover point the less chance of issues.   And you don't have to run another set of shielded 25pr (one for tx, one for rx) or larger, and the frames, etc... etc...

Hi Everyone,

I'm involved with an organisation that is having an ISDN 10 service delivered by Telstra over fibre and as such Telstra will be locating one of their fibre termination cabinets (and related gear) within a storeroom.  They've been advised that the cabinet has to be right next to their rack of gear, however, having the Telstra cabinet in that location will be quite inconvenient as far as use of space is concerned.

I recall having had cabinets much further away in the past and would rather they put it behind a door in another room to take up otherwise wasted space.  Does anyone have any advice or documentation on maximum cable lengths for connecting to Telstra ISDN10 (E1) service?


Thanks,
Paul.
