1 DESCRIPTION

The Ethernet Test Access Panel (ETAP) is designed to support a variety of UTP cabling systemsincluding standard voice, T1/E1, DS1, DS3, 10 and 100 Base-T. A typical application is shownin Figure 1.

Figure 1. Typical Application

ETAP consists of a 19-inch rack mountable sheet metal panel containing two PC boards, each with12 circuits, for a total of 24 circuits per panel. Each circuit consists of a pair of RJ45 jacks and amake-before-break (MBB) card edge connector placed electrically in-line with the RJ jacks.

The ETAP system includes a number of Value Added Modules (VAMs), which can be pluggedinto the MBB connectors. Depending on the desired function, a VAM can either preserve thesignal path from RJ to RJ when inserted, or break the signal path.

ADCP-92-062 • Issue 2 • April 2006

When inserting a VAM, the MBB connector is designed to make the connection to the boardbefore breaking its connection, and upon withdrawal to make its connection before theconnection to the board is lost. In this way, a VAM designed to preserve the signal path willcontinue to pass signals as it is inserted, in use, and as it is withdrawn.

Two VAMs are defined in this manual the Intrusive Test VAM and GR-1089 Lightning ProtectionVAM. Each MBB card edge connector and VAM are keyed to prevent improper installation.

The Intrusive Test VAM (Figure 2) breaks the signal and provides a separate access cord for eachdirection in the circuit. Each cord can be attached to a test set to look at the direction of interest.

Figure 2. Intrusive Test VAM

ADCP-92-062 • Issue 2 • April 2006

The GR-1089 Lightning Protection VAM (Figure 3) preserves the signal path, but routes it throughtransient voltage suppressors within the VAM for the purpose of intra-building surge protection.

Figure 3. Lightening Protection VAM

2 PLANNING

The ETAP with VAMs adheres to RJ45 industry standards and is interoperable with other 100Ohm balanced UTP and STP cabling systems and installations. While the ETAP with VAMswill work with all existing standard equipment, for optimal channel performance they should beconnected to a category 5 or higher 100 Ohm balanced UTP cabling.

Maximum distance between a telecommunications outlet and the horizontal cross connectshould not exceed 90 meters (295 ft.). Maximum length of all patch cords and jumpers in thetelecommunications closet should be no more than 5 meters (16.4 ft.), and the total length of allpatch cords both in the telecommunications closet and at the work area should not exceed5 meters (16.4 ft.).
