Impact of Bridged Taps on Vdsl Performance Distribution: T1e1.4 Technical Subcommittee Working Group Members Status: for Information

This contribution describes some specifics of VDSL performance in the presence of bridged taps. It is shown that the effect of a bridged tap depends on both the length and allocation of the bridged tap due to dominating of FEXT. As a result, bridged taps affect the opposite transmission directions differently and usually the upstream performance is degraded much more regardless of the applied VDSL spectrum plan.
