Signal Booster? 2

[totaletech]

Is there such a thing as a signal booster that I can put on one of our telephone lines out to one of our remote stations?

The phone is run through our MICS, through 5 cross connects and 3 splices, over a distance of about 1000 feet.

As it is now the phone powers up, time displays but then it cuts in and out, disply fades in and out.

Anything I can do aside from recabling? At this particular location recabling is NOT an option, trust me.

IN NORSTAR CLASS THEY SAID YOU COULD TAKE A -24VDC POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE IT IN A IDF SAY HALF WAY AND CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE TIP AND RING OF THE LINE, BEING CAREFUL TO PLACE THE - AND + ON THE CORRECT SIDES.
NEVER HAD THE OPPERTUNITY TO TRY IT BUT I SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY WORK.

PERRYPJ is correct. It does work. I have used the SAP on several long runs and they have always corrected problems like yours.

I too have heard the same thing about a the SAP.

On the TIP and RING?....or on the second pair?...

on the tip and ring. you may need a second saps if you also have to run a BLF along with driving the distance for the main signal. should go 1000 ft tho'.

If voting could really change things, it would be illegal.
