Communications service providers performing backhaul of T1 circuit from remote sites to central offices, head ends, or MTSOs require cost-effective demarcation, circuit testing, troubleshooting and maintenance capabilities.


Telect’s Customer Interface Panel (CIP) incorporates RJ48X interface ports, which passively loop back the T1 circuit when an RJ cable is not connected in the corresponding port. This enables the testing of the circuit from the NOC or head end to the Telect CIP and back.

Using the loopback feature, the provider can perform pre-service testing before turning up the circuit.

For simple, remote troubleshooting, the technician can remove the plug from the appropriate RJ jack, which will isolate the location of the problem to either transport or local.

All of this functionality is available in a 1 RU panel to help maximize limited space in remote applications. Deploy your T1 network element, and Telect provides all additional components required for the total solution.
