that's what "dry copper" is supposed to be, just a cross connect between 2
pairs out of the CO. ie not even battery, line test equipment, or anything
else hanging off it at the CO. any restriction should be purely a function
of the inductance/capacitance of the wire and the connections and nothing
else - anything else and you didn't get "dry copper" in the first place.
just out of curiousity - anyone ever hijack pairs and get away with it ?
(do your own cross connects on the street and utilize some crossconnect
all within one branch of F1 cable out of the CO ?)
I've been tempted in the past, and know that at least around here I would
probably get away with it for quite some time before anyone actually cared
enough to investigate.
At least in Bellsouth/Louisiana they do not guarantee that the circuit
will pass DC voltage. Since it is an alarm circuit I believe they only
guarantee that it will pass short/open. If the circuit goes between
COs then I there is no reason for them to pass DC voltage. If it is
within the same CO then there is no reason I can think of that it would
not pass DC voltage, except of course to prevent people from using xDSL
tech on the line.
