General
ASM-60 is a VDSL (Very High-bitrate Digital Subscriber Line) modem handling
high data rates. ASM-60 supports HSSI DTE interface, and several Ethernet
interface modules, which allow LAN-to-LAN connectivity using VDSL technology.
Working in full duplex over 4-wire link, the modem can be configured to operate
at the data rates up to 10.240 Mbps.
