T1 E1 Single or Dual Multiport Repeater

08th, Nov 2019

Welcome to another issue of GL's Newsletter providing information on our Single or Dual Multiport Repeaters in portable and high-density rack enclosures. In addition to the USB based portable units, GL offers mTOP™ rack enclosures with USB based units which can be stacked to provide a high-density form factor solution.

T1 E1 Single or Dual Multiport Repeater

Overview

Multiport Repeaters are used to generate multiple identical T1/E1 outputs for each T1/E1 input, thereby increasing the range of transmission of T1/E1 signals.

single/ dual multiport repeater can be used for the following purposes:

  • To generate multiple identical T1/ E1 outputs for each T1/ E1 input
  • To test and load multiple T1/ E1 interfaces simultaneously
  • For broadcast applications and traffic generation and simulation
  • To preserve the strength of the signal and extend the transmission distance

The single bantam version provides ten identical outputs from a single T1/ E1 input. The single RJ45 version provides 12 identical outputs from a single T1/ E1 input. The dual version provides four outputs for each of the two inputs.

GL offers mTOP™ high-density rack hardware test platforms, which are 1U/2U rack enclosures within which USB based T1/E1 Multiport Repeaters can be stacked to provide a high density form factor solution.

The sleek design of T1/E1 multiport repeaters allows multiple units to be easily placed in a mTOP™ 1U/2U rack mount enclosure, providing different variations.
