mance: automatic equalization, automatic gain control, antistreaming
timer, transformer isolation and Silicon Avalanche Diode surge protec-
tion. The Model 1080ARC features V.52 compliant bit error rate pattern

The Model 1080ARC is designed to mount in Patton’s 2U high 19” rack
chassis. This 16-card chassis has a switchable 120/240 volt power sup-
ply and mounts cards in a mid-plane architecture: The front card can be
plugged into different rear cards. This means that the Model 1080ARC
card can have several interface options and can be switched with other
Patton short haul cards.
