Terminator
Far End Terminating Device
The bottom line? By reducing failure
The CopperProTMfamily of loop testers
from Fluke Networks packs a full com-
plement of test and troubleshooting
capabilities into one rugged, integrated
tool for OSP technicians. Now we’ve
expanded its capabilities even further
with Terminator – an accessory module
to the 990DSL CopperProTMthat lets you
perform terminated transmission test-
ing quickly. Easily. Single-handedly.
Together, the CopperPro and
Terminator are a major advance in
qualifying and troubleshooting copper
access network circuits, including
HDSL2/4. Nothing else on the market
offers a more complete and effective
solution for reducing failure frequency,
repeats, and chronic problems with
special services circuits.
“Terminate” wasted time,
money and dispatches
Just attach the battery-powered
Terminator to the far end of a cable pair.
Together with a single 990 CopperPro,
Terminator provides VF and WB termina-
tions and tones for terminated transmis-
sion testing. It also supports the 990DSL’s
composite tone generation capability for
high-speed ADSL, special services, and
wideband longitudinal balance tests.

erminator puts an end to unnecessary
T
dispatches and fines.
Save time and money. Gain
higher performance.
• Saves money and optimizes your workforce
with “one tech out” terminated testing of
out-of-service pairs
• High-speed acceptance/qualification tests,
including loop attenuation – a must for
HDSL2/4
• Robust error checking at start-up
eliminates time-consuming false starts
and assures reliable communication with
the CopperPro
• High-speed testing makes technicians
more efficient; the CopperPro’s unique
composite tone capability can sweep
thousands of frequencies in seconds

together are the only proven
way to qualify HDSL
Advances in DSL (digital subscriber line)
technologies have had a dramatic impact on
e availability and deployment of broad-
th
band service. High-speed links carrying
voice, data and video services can be
deployed quickly over existing outside plant
copper cable. While some circuits turn up
with minimal effort, many suffer problems
from the outset.
Traditional testing methods will no longer
do the job. HDSL2 and HDSL4 don’t use
repeating signals that can be replicated with
BERT and Nyquist tests used in the past.
Instead, they use complex TCPAM
technology, which requires a different
testing procedure.
The 990DSL CopperPro and Terminator
feature automatic tests designed specifically
to address this problem. CopperPro and
Terminator prequalify pairs for HDSL2 or
HDSL4 in less than two minutes, and help
locate facilities problems that generate
errors or cause circuits to fail.
• Metallic noise, power influence and longi-
tudinal balance at voice band and data
frequencies to assess how well the pair
can “self-shield” itself from the effects
of noise from the environment or in
the cable
• Wideband circuit noise and level across
the entire frequency range (spectral noise)
to make sure ambient noise in the HDSLx
pass band are below acceptable levels
• Loop resistance and resistive balance and
length to assure that splices, gauge
changes or other impairments don’t com-
promise the long-term reliability of the
circuit
