The Crocus HDSL (High bit rate Digital Subscriber Line) is a new-generation manageable baseband modem for E1 digital subscriber lines or private copper networks. The Crocus HDSL integrates the high performance HDSL technology into a product designed to cover long distances at 2 Mbps over unshielded twisted pairs without the need for expensive repeaters or pair selection. Therefore, the Crocus HDSL re-enhances the value of the installed copper base to a large extent. A complete range of plug-in interface boards makes the Crocus HDSL ideal for interfacing with almost every application. Not only traditional serial interfaces like V.35, V.36, RS-530 and X.21 (available for both 2 Mbit/s and Nx64 Kbit/s operation), but also G703 (transparent or with G.704 framing) and direct Ethernet 10BaseT connections with integrated bridge or router functionality are available. All these interface boards can be exchanged in only a few seconds, so flexibility is maximised.
