Abstract
An xDSL signal distribution system is provided having a DSL translator unit located between a central office XTU unit and a customer location for allowing equipment of multiple types of DSL signal format to be used within the same distribution system. The translator unit is arranged to decode the payload of transmitted signals of one type of DSL format into base digital data. The translator unit then performs line code conversion to a second desired type of DSL code format. In addition, the translator unit employs buffering to allow transmission of the converted xDSL signals at a transmission rate suitable for the type of coding.
