Far end terminating device that lets you perform terminated transmission testing quickly, easily and single-handedly.

The CopperPro family of loop testers from Fluke Networks packs a full complement 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 CopperPro that lets you perform terminated transmission testing 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

Together with a single 990 CopperPro, Terminator provides VF and WB terminations and tones for terminated transmission testing. It also supports the 990DSL's composite tone generation capability for high-speed ADSL, special services, and wideband longitudinal balance tests.

The bottom line? By reducing failure frequency, repeats and chronic problems, Terminator puts an end to unnecessary dispatches and fines.

Why Terminator and CopperPro together are the only proven way to qualify HDSL

Advances in DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technologies have had a dramatic impact on the availability and deployment of broadband 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.

Terminator: one add-on Module; 13 testing advantages

1. Loop terminations and VF / WB single tones for testing on either of two pairs (Pair 1 and 2)
2. Bridging / splitting access between Pair 1 and Pair 3 (CO Pair
3. Composite VF and WB tones for greatly increased testing speed
4. DTMF signaling control on both Pair 1 and Pair 2 (Pair 1 alone, if powered down)
5. Signaling and testing on the same pair (either Pair 1 or 2)
6. Extremely low-power mode when turned off
7. DTMF transceiver switchable via relay to either Pair 1 (default) or Pair 2, or removed from both for a preset time interval whenever its input impedance would affect the 990 CopperPro measurement from the far end (i.e., shorts and grounds, or opens)
8. Operable from a standard butt-set, when line powering is present (i.e., idle POTS line)
9. DTMF command protocol allows for "Ack / Nack" closed-loop feedback response to control commands, increasing reliability
10. Tracing Tone mode (TR metallic 577 Hz signal)
11. Powered by a standard, off-the-shelf 9 VDC Alkaline non-rechargeable battery
12. Battery cover removable without the use of a tool
13. Operates from an external 12-15 VDC power source, such as the AC and DC power cords provided with the 990 CopperPro, automatically disconnecting the internal battery when plugged in
