Re: Nothing more accurate than a Map
Another thing that affects loop length is bridge taps. As the phone company rarely knows exactly where every cable pair is going to be used in town. they branch them off so a cable pair has multiple appearances in the Town. they also 'load' long loops with inductor coils in parallel to compensate for the capacitance that results from long pairs of wires. this is great for POTS lines but horrible for digital. Both of these factors increases the electrical loop length. |
