Also note that the Smart Jack allows the Telco to provide T1 Signalling in places that it couldn't in the past, most smart jacks that I have used are: [CO]<-Optical->[Hut DMS]<-->[Hut Smart Jack]<-HDSL->[CPE Smart Jack] For the list, Telco Techs, mostly do as they are told, and are schooled by th

My telco used cat5 as well for the demarc to CPE. It's also with noting that many channel banks, such as my Atlas, and zapata.conf itself also have parameters to allow you to tune the gains to compensate for cable signal loss. I've never had to touch them, and my CPE is about 300 feet from the PRI
