Note: This product is NOT intended for 10BaseT or Ethernet. T1 modulation is designed for use with twisted pair solid wire phone cables. The T-extender does NOT extend ethernet connections... only T1 connections.  For Ethernet Extenders go here.

Each pair of T-Extenders may be located up to 5000 feet apart. Solid copper 22 AWG two twisted pair is the preferred cable for connection between T-Extenders. Smaller wire sizes will reduce the functional distance between T-Extenders. Connection to the T-Extender is made through RJ-45 modular connectors or 4-wire screw down barrier strips. Both types of connectors are standard on the T-Extender.

The T-Extender is powered by a small wall-mount transformer, and is used for connections between T-1 equipment such as PBXs, T-1 multiplexers, T-1 line drivers, T-1 local multiplexers or any other T-1 equipment requiring long customer owned cable runs. T-Extenders can be used to connect this equipment across a campus, between floors of a high-rise office building or between office buildings with underground cable connections.

T-Extenders can also be used to extend the distance between any T-1 equipment (DSU, channel bank, router, etc.).

The T-Extenders are best used in pairs. If you have a T1 CSU that is limited to 655 feet, connected to a device limited to 655 feet, and you put the T-Extender at one end, the T-Extender will drive the extra distance. However, the far end device will still be limited to 655 feet and will not likely have sufficient "drive" to reach the far end. The T1 transmitted signal is the issue addressed by the T-Extender, so in this case, the line would be error-prone or possibly only work in one direction.
