Claim Text:
1. A modular unit for simulating performance of a multi-lines cable between a Central Office (CO) and several Customer Premises Equipments (CPEs); the modular unit comprises: a first set of n connectors and a second set of n connectors configured to connect in a first dimension the modular unit between the CO and the CPEs; a first crosstalk simulator configured to simulate crosstalk within a first bundle of n number of lines and a first length simulator configured to simulate a first predefined line length; and a third set of n connectors configured to connect the modular unit with a second modular unit in a second dimension, wherein the second modular unit comprises: wherein the first crosstalk simulator is further configured to simulate crosstalk within the first bundle of n number of lines by taking into account crosstalk from the second bundle of n number of lines when the modular unit is connected to the second modular unit, wherein the second crosstalk simulator is further configured to simulate crosstalk within the second bundle of n number of lines by taking into account crosstalk from the first bundle of n number of lines when the second modular unit is connected to the modular unit, and wherein the first and second crosstalk simulators comprise a line connector for each line of the first bundle of n number of lines and the second bundle of n number of lines, each of the line connectors configured to receive alien noise injection.
