It was designed from the beginning to have regenerators placed every mile or so in the line to restore the signal to a perfect wave shape. Longer spans require more engineering and construction effort, so cost goes up.
Even so, you can get T1 service from coast to coast if you like. Actually, the T1 line is only carried by copper to the nearest telco central office. From there it rides on a fiber optic network to the central office nearest the far location and is then delivered on copper wiring.
You Can Afford More Bandwidth Business bandwidth demands are increasing faster than fiber is being trenched to every business. Find out in seconds what network services and pricing are available now for your commercial business building anywhere in the U.
Simply use this handy form Our extensive cloud and telecom line services are provided by Telarus, Inc. All information you provide will be used only to support your inquiry and will not be shared. The standard business bandwidth connection is the versatile T1 line. These connections are available just about everywhere, they offer a dedicated and reliable bandwidth and prices have been getting lower over the years.
What's Ethernet over Copper? EoC is an Ethernet WAN connection that can link multiple business locations or give you a high speed dedicated Ethernet connection. It also makes a good on-ramp to private cloud networks such as nationwide or international MPLS networks.
What Ethernet over Copper and T1 lines have in common is that they are both provisioned over multiple twisted pair telco wiring. Both T1 and EoC can use multiple wire pairs to increase bandwidth in a process known as bonding. Ethernet over Copper, or EoC, leverages one of the primary attributes of T1 lines.
A T1 lines comes into your facility in the same bundle of installed telephone wire that brings in multi-line telephone service. Because it is ordinary telco wire, most every business location in the country is already wired for service and enabled for T1.
How T1 Lines Work T1 lines use two twisted pair versus one pair for an analog telephone line. One pair is used for the upstream connection. The other is used for the downstream connection. This gives you 1. T1 line prices have come down to several hundred dollars per month, although that number varies with location. But your Ethernet link will be running at 3 Mbps rather than 1. Why the difference? T1 was designed by the phone companies right after WWII to transport telephone calls digitally.
Thus, it was designed as a synchronized system subdivided into 24 precise channels. In fact, it takes a protocol conversion to go back and forth from T1 to Ethernet. Increasing Bandwidth Through Bonding T1 lines can compete with Ethernet over Copper by using more lines to increase bandwidth.
Add another 2 pair for an additional T1 line and you can double your bandwidth from 1. The process used to couple multiple T1 lines to create one effectively larger line is called bonding. As you might expect, Ethernet over Copper lines can also be bonded to create a larger bandwidth connection.
T1 line bonding is practical up to 10 or 12 Mbps. EoC bonding can deliver bandwidths as high as Mbps over very short distances. Standard Ethernet network speed of 10 Mbps is readily available. You can also get 15 or 20 Mbps service without too much trouble. Once bandwidth gets above 45 to 50 Mbps, it generally makes sense to move up to fiber optic connections.
EoC delivery is generally limited to a few miles from the central office where the termination equipment is installed. It was designed from the beginning to have regenerators placed every mile or so in the line to restore the signal to a perfect wave shape.
Longer spans require more engineering and construction effort, so cost goes up. Even so, you can get T1 service from coast to coast if you like. Actually, the T1 line is only carried by copper to the nearest telco central office. From there it rides on a fiber optic network to the central office nearest the far location and is then delivered on copper wiring. You Can Afford More Bandwidth Business bandwidth demands are increasing faster than fiber is being trenched to every business.
For speed and bandwidth nothing is faster than optical fibre. It's also immune to electrical interference, etc. Electrical wires are susceptible to electrical interference. It's also a problem that can arise as future changes to other installations disturb an earlier set-up. Copper wires are also more susceptible to damage by heat or fire. Electrical signals cannot travel far without regular boosting of signal and so are dependent upon that function in addition to routing in order to remain operational.
Copper prices are probably at about an all-time high making copper cable comparatively much more expensive than it has been historically. Optical fibres are used over long distances, such as between towns, as well as between buildings within a town. The use of copper within a building marks a change in the technology and presents a potential bottle-neck.
The only potential down-side for optical fibre, is that it copes less well with corners - you need to curve round corners, whereas copper can be bent much more severely. But the issue is a small one generally. Many, but not all, COs are equipped to provide Ethernet service. Distance vs Bandwidth The second limitation of Ethernet over Copper is distance. T1 technology was developed by the telephone industry to provide phone line trunking between switching centers. Provisions were made for T1 specific signal regenerators to allow T1 service to stretch just about any distance from the CO.
EoC is more like DSL. The bandwidth you can get decreases rapidly with how far away you are from the central office. If the CO is just down the street, you may be able to get bandwidth that rivals entry level fiber optic service. A mile or more away, your choices will be limited. Several miles away, the signal is unusable and service is unavailable. Does Distance Really Matter? Most locations are within a few thousand feet of the nearest CO.
How much bandwidth are we talking about. You know that a T1 line gives you 1.
