G.fast is a new standard for fixed broadband access that aims at achieving bit rates of 1 Gb/s over short copper loops. In order to give support to simulation, design and performance evaluation tests, the G.fast recommendation presents examples of some wiring topologies and reference loops describing configurations expected to be found in real G.fast deployments. Our work describes results of modeling some types of lines adopted in these reference loops by means of a low complexity and causal parametric cable model. The results indicate that the modeling approach proposed in this work is accurate for all the analyzed cases, which include high quality, medium quality and low quality cables.
