The Crocus SHDSL (symmetrical High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Line) is a new generation manageable baseband modem offering full duplex transmission up to 2.3 Mbps over a single two-wire unconditioned unshielded twisted-pair cable.
 
A special 2-pair version offers the possibility to extend the speed range to 4.6 Mbps. The line speed of the modem can be automatically adapted to optimize the troughput as a function of the characteristics of the local loop. 

A complete range of plug-in interface boards makes the Crocus SHDSL ideal for interfacing with almost any application. Not only traditional serial interfaces like V.35, V.36, RS-530 and X.21 (configurable for Nx64 Kbps operation), but also G.703 (transparent or with G.704 framing), dual port interfaces and direct Ethernet 10/100 BaseT connections with integrated router functionality are available.
 
All these interface boards can be exchanged in only a few seconds.
