Another company supporting CAP????... TTC Announces Availability Of TPI 350DSL Analyzer, the First to Support CAP, DMT Codes FYI December 1, 1998 -- TTC Tuesday announced the commercial availability of the TPI 350DSL analyzer. This handheld ADSL test set is the first of its kind to support both CAP and DMT line codes. The new instrument will be exhibited at ComNet, TTC booth 2830, Jan. 26-28 in Washington, D.C. The TPI 350 is TTC's entry-level tester for ADSL and complements TTC's recently announced ADSL test sets, the T-BERD 1000 and TTC 1000 ADSL analyzers which support DMT line coding. The TPI 350, developed by the TPI division of TTC, is a lightweight, battery powered unit designed for the field technician. It emulates the ATU-R (ADSL modem) and displays the critical line parameters. Using the TPI 350DSL, the field technician can quickly verify service and conduct a smooth installation. It includes menu-driven set-up and test on LCD. "TTC believes that the success of ADSL will be driven in large part by industry and technology leaders bringing down installation and deployment costs through the availability of efficient turn-up service tools and systems,'' said Bob Vogel, president of TTC's TPI division. "I'm delighted to announce the commercial availability of such a solution. "The TPI 350DSL will enable service providers to quickly, accurately and efficiently turn up ADSL service.'' Other features of the TPI 350 include a lid option for detection of load coils out to 27,000 feet. A maximum of five load coils will be indicated supporting cable lengths up to 36,000 feet. In addition, an open, a short, or excessive noise on the line will be indicated by LED readings. The instrument will display downstream and upstream connect speed and noise margin on a LCD display and LED sync. Upgrade enhancements to the TPI 350 consist of the following two-wire loop diagnostic features: DC current, loop resistance and capacitance, power influence, display of loop length based on resistance/capacitance measurements and entry of cable gauge data, and load coil detector. The TPI 350 will be available for commercial shipment in January 1999. It is priced under $3,000.
