Analog transmission parameters
(North American systems only)
The following are the required analog parameters for an ATA2:
The maximum loss for ATA 2 to Central Office (CO) configuration, shown in Figure 85 , must not
exceed 10 dB.

system loop resistance (cable only) 135 ohms maximum (for example: 800 m of
0.5 mm wire or 2,600 ft. of 24 AWG wire)
Analog loop resistance on terminal side for
voice applications (cable only) 1,300 ohms maximum (for example: 4,600 m of
0.4 mm wire or 15,000 ft. of 26 AWG wire)
Analog loop resistance on terminal for data
applications (cable only) 200 ohms maximum (for example: 730 m of
0.4 mm wire side or 2,400 ft. of 26 AWG wire)
Input impedance at tip and ring 600 ohms
Return loss > 20 dB for 200 to 3,400 Hz (when Network terminated
with 600 ohms)
