Spirent DLS 8110 VDSL Bridged Tap Simulator DLS 8110 Growing demand for high bandwidth multimedia applications with integrated voice, data and video is one of the primary drivers for VDSL technology, the natural evolution from ADSL. To assist data rate performance testing in VDSL chipset and modem development, which are sensitive to bridged taps, Spirent Communication has launched the DLS 8110 VDSL Bridged Tap Simulator. Used with the DLS 8100 (or the DLS 8111) VDSL Wireline Simulator, the DLS 8110 helps to provide VDSL test loops that include variable bridged taps with small increments.

Long bridged taps are important in VDSL data rate and BER (Bit Error Rate) performance testing. Increments as short as 10 feet allow the testing to be very focused in identifying access device problems. Flexible bridged tap(s) set-up A basic VDSL loop simulation system includes a DLS 8100 chassis (or at least one DLS 8111 chassis) and at least one DLS 8110 chassis. A DLS 8100 (or DLS 8111) + a DLS 8110 system offers VDSL testloops with long variable bridged tap(s) in smaller increments. This helps to provide complex loops beyond the current VDSL standard T1E1.4/2001-009R2 and ITU-T G.993.1 (previously known as G.vdsl). Continuous bandwidth The DLS 8110 and DLS 8111 combination provides continuous bandwidth from DC to 30 MHz that is essential for the testing of VDSL co-existing with voice and ISDN application on the same twisted pair. Low noise floor Passive component design approach allows attenuation, input impedance and propagation delay of twisted pairs to be properly simulated while providing a low noise floor. Multiple control interfaces IEEE or RS-232 interfaces allow for integration into a customer's test environment and fully automated control. Remote control The DLS 8110 is configured for North American VDSL (as well as other xDSL) standards. All VDSL wireline, VDSL bridged tap, and noise impairment test cases are easily selected via the DLS 1100 GUI or integrated into an automated testing system via SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Interfaces) or Spirent Communications' ScriptCenter. Key Spirent partner The DLS 8110 VDSL Bridged Tap Simulator is a key component in the comprehensive xDSL test and analysis solution offered by Spirent Communications which includes its Smartbits, Adtech, Zarak and Hekimian products.
