Patton Models 3/11 & 3/45
|
Telco Data Taps for T1, E1, or DDS
|
Monitor DDS, T1, and E1 circuits without interfering with normal circuit
operation.

|
Features & Benefits |
- A great way to tap into and monitor DDS, T1, E1 or other WAN
circuits.
- All 6 or 8 pins are wired straight through to all 3 connectors
- Terminating resistors prevent the tap device from interfering with
normal circuit operation.

Overview |
|
Most T1, E1, and DDS circuit wiring inside customer premises uses
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable that is terminated with RJ-48
connectors. To verify correct operation of these circuits, it is often
necessary to make a passive tap into the circuit at a location in the
wiring where there is no monitor port available.
The Model 3/11 and Model 3/45 Data Taps can be used to quickly insert a
passive tap into UTP wiring using RJ-11 or RJ-48 connectors. Once the
Model 3 is inserted in-line in the UTP wiring, a test instrument may be
attached to the box's tap connector and monitor communication on either of
the two pair used for T1, E1, or DDS circuits.
The tap connections are made through 470-ohm resistors to minimize the
possibility that a wiring fault at the tap will cause failure of the main
line being monitored. All four pair in a typical UTP cable are tapped to
allow use of the same box for different pair combinations. The Model 3
contains no active components, making it very reliable for use in
continuous operation communication circuits.
