As DSL data rates increase on the local loop, so does the effect of bridged taps-especially on high-rate DSLs operating at critical margins where bridged taps significantly attenuate the signal and often must be removed to achieve target data rates. There is a correlation between signal frequencies and bridged tap length, much as there is a correlation between RF signal frequencies and antenna length. And, for telecommunications on telephone plant, as the frequency goes higher (shorter wavelength), it is attenuated by shorter bridged taps.
