In telephone communications, any cable pair spliced into the main pair. Many unused bridged taps remain from the early days when party lines were the norm and two or more taps were made on every line. The extra taps were later cut, taken off the termination block and buried into the wire maze, making them difficult to locate. Bridged taps cause undesirable reflection that can distort the high-frequency signals in modern transmission technologies.

The much-improved performance with bridged taps helps in providing the same level of service to all DSL customers in a service area. Westell's DMH technology helps solve the service provider's long-standing bridged tap problems. For example, the system can determine whether the line is qualified for DSL with the bridged tap left in place, whether the line will support DSL service if removed, or whether the line will not support DSL service even if removed. |
