Product Features
Technical Overview
This network interface module implements a single T1/FT1 port with DSX-1 electrical interface, supporting data rates up to 1.544 Mbps for full T1 circuits or fractional configurations. The module operates as a dedicated expansion component that installs directly into the expansion slot of compatible NetVanta routers, requiring no external power or additional cabling beyond the T1 line connection.
The DSX-1 interface follows industry-standard specifications for T1 connectivity, including proper impedance matching, signal levels, and framing formats. This ensures reliable performance across varying line conditions and distances while maintaining compatibility with existing T1 infrastructure.

FAQ
What routers are compatible with this T1/FT1 interface module?
This module is specifically designed for Adtran NetVanta 1000 Series, 3000 Series, and 4000 Series access routers. It installs directly into the expansion slot of these compatible routers, providing integrated T1/FT1 connectivity without requiring external adapters or separate termination units.
What type of connector does this module use for T1 connections?
The module features an RJ-48C connector, which is the standard interface for T1 circuits. This connector supports the DSX-1 electrical interface specification and works with typical T1 cabling infrastructure, ensuring compatibility with existing telecom equipment and service provider installations.
Does this module support fractional T1 (FT1) circuits?
Yes, the module supports both full T1 circuits operating at 1.544 Mbps and fractional T1 (FT1) configurations. This flexibility allows organizations to utilize only the bandwidth they need from their telecom provider, making it cost-effective for applications that don't require the full T1 capacity.
What is the primary application for this network interface module?
This module is designed for data networking applications requiring T1 or FT1 connectivity. It enables reliable data transmission over traditional T-carrier infrastructure, making it suitable for point-to-point data links, branch office connections, backup circuits, and other scenarios where legacy T1 circuits must be maintained alongside modern routing equipment.
