At T Coaxial Cable Routes

The system was deployed in five sequential configurations designated l 1 through l 5.

At t coaxial cable routes. Transcontinental cable system l system the transcontinental cable system was developed by att longlines to support defense related communications during the cold war period. The cable contained 20 coaxial cable tubes for carrying telephone signals and many smaller wires for other purposes. See the cross section diagram below. Includes list titled official names of lines and cables.

As of 1974 coaxial systems carried 30 percent of interstate traffic over more than 20 000 route miles of cable. Over a period from the late 1930s to the 1970s the system evolved in six significant phases of development designated by bell system engineers as l 1 through l 5 and l 5e. Coaxial cable was the principal transmission medium in all stages initially. Its key property is the ability to efficiently conduct high frequency currents the basis of broadband communication.

That harms signal quality. Facility routes of at t eastern. In general a coaxial unit is simply an electrical conductor enclosed by and insulated from another conductor. At t s first fiber optic cable route between cambridge ma to washington dc.

Pulling coax cable too hard tightens the braided wire shielding and compresses the foam the way chinese handcuffs tighten around your finger. Placed in service 1983 84 long lines routes in the washington dc area jan. Shows microwave radio coaxial cable and wire pair cable routes with high capacity routes highlighted. 1970 267kb richmond greensboro c cable route map partial l3 coaxial cable between lombardy grove and virgilina va.

The switching and repeater stations along these routes were built underground and equipped with air filters radiation protection food and water to allow their crews to operate through and after an attack. An at t coaxial cable was comprised of several coaxial units bundled together under a protective sheath. Coaxial cable is fragile and kinking and crushing aren t the only ways to damage the foam jacket surrounding the center wire. It uses f plugs to connect on both ends and features low loss double shielding which ensures less interference in your picture and sound.
