Signal Level Guide
3.1 ADSL
Downstream SNR = 15 dB.
Higher is better, minimum = 6 dB.
Downstream Power = < 15 dBm.
Lower is better.
Upstream SNR = 10 dB.
Higher is better.
Upstream Power = < 15 dBm.
Lower is better.
Downstream Attenuation = < 30 dB
Lower is better, maximum = 60 dB.
Upstream Attenuation = < 30 dB
Lower is better, maximum = 60 dB.
3.2 ADSL2+
Downstream SNR = 06 dB.
Higher is not better, within range is better = 05 – 07 dB.
Downstream Power = < xx dBm.
Lower is better.
Upstream SNR = 06 dB.
Higher is not better, within range is better = 05 – 07 dB.
Upstream Power = < xx dBm.
Lower is better.
Downstream Attenuation = < 22 dB
Lower is better, maximum = 22 dB (for 10mbps), 12 dB (for ~25mbps).
Upstream Attenuation = < 22 dB
Lower is better, maximum = 22 dB (for 10mbps), 12 dB (for ~25mbps).
Attenuation to Loop Length Conversion
10 dB ~ 0500 m
15 dB ~ 1000 m
25 dB ~ 2000 m
35 dB ~ 2500 m
NOTE
All readings are based on CPE, with average error margin of CPE taken into considerations.
