Information on HDSL

HDSL (High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line Broadband) is a DSL technology that provides a high rate, symmetric data communication link over conventional twisted-pair copper cable. HDSL provides symmetric upstream and downstream data rates of 1.5 Mbps using two copper pairs and up to 2 Mbps using three copper pairs. The maximum range of HDSL is 4.6 km, which usually limits its availability.
     Typical applications of HDSL include feeder segments from local exchanges to remote nodes, cross-campus connections and as alternatives to T1/E1 repeaters.
