The Mountain Engineering & Technology ME-1001 Line Simulator is a highly accurate, programmable filter designed to simulate the attenuation versus frequency characteristics of the #22AWG (0.7mm) unshielded twisted-pair transmission wire commonly used in long distance telephone trunk lines in the US and around the world. The same wire is also found in office buildings and industrial complexes where it forms the backbone of PBX and LAN communication systems. By simulating 11kft (3.3km) of transmission line in 230ft (70m) increments, the ME-1001 offers a convenient and practical method of developing and testing communications equipment intended for use on this wire.
Easy to use front panel controls set the ME-1001's simulated line length displayed in kFeet, Meters, or dB of Attenuation at either 772kHz for 1.544Mb/s applications or 1024kHz for 2.048Mb/s applications. Input and output line terminations are also user-selectable to correctly match the characteristic impedances of either 100W or 120W twisted-pair wire systems. A 75W BALUN connection is also provided. All ME-1001 functions can be computer controlled via a standard RS-232 serial port for automated test applications.
