RDLU
Remote Digital Line Unit
Description
The Remote Digital Line Unit (RDLU) provides the
ability to locate the port sections of the switching system at a remote site. It can be equipped
with its own batteries and chargers and
can be located up to 30 miles from the
switching equipment. The RDLU is
designed to operate in hostile ambient
temperature environments, so installation in an equipment closet is acceptable.
The RDLU is an economically sound
way to avoid cable access nightmares
and reduce the overall footprint of the
switching system for large installations
and campus environments.
There are no limitations to the number
of RDLUs that can be equipped and
supported, up to the maximum system
size. Each RDLU requires only fiber
optic or microwave connectivity.
The RDLU and the switching equipment use many of the same circuit
boards, providing easy access to spare
parts.
