The Megaplex M8SL module employs Single-pair High speed Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) technology, as standardized by ITU-T Rec. G.991.2. This SHDSL E1 module offers a cost-effective solution for delivering digital data to customer premises over the existing copper cables of the distribution network while eliminating the need for repeaters.
In addition to providing SHDSL interfaces for Megaplex-4100 units, M8SL modules enable packet-based Fast Ethernet services.
M8SL modules have two types of external ports:
• Eight SHDSL independently configurable external ports for SHDSL services
• Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, for packet-based services.
