In all of the above groomers, the E1 or T1 receivers connect to the E1 or T1 "Live Traffic" links which are to be monitored, non-intrusively (Hi-Z) in both transmit and receive directions. The additional normal impedance E1 or T1 ports shall connect the groomed time-slots to measurement-probes, protocol analysers, billing servers etc.

The Groomers (E1 or T1 Monitoring Cross-Connects) are specially designed for non-intrusive monitoring applications and are capable of monitoring a very low signal of upto -20dBdsx (0.3Volt Pulse) E1 or T1 signal through a Hi-Z path from a patch-panel or a DDF, without in any way distrubing the "live" E1 (or T1) traffic that is required to be monitored. The E1 connector(s) shall be RJ45 (120 Ohms). The T1 connector(s) shall be RJ45 (100 Ohms).

The user is offered full flexibility to choose and select the time-slots which are required to be monitored in "both" Transmit and Receive direction, through the internal TSI non-blocking switch, from any of the E1/T1 ports that are required to be monitored and also groom the selected time-slots to the normal impedance E1 or T1 ports that shall connect to measurement-probes, protocol analysers, billing servers etc.
