Description / Abstract:
This standard covers the general parameters and characteristics
associated with telephone loops from the subscriber signaling and
analog voice frequency interface to the local Class 5 switch
interface. It includes only those business and residential lines in
the North American public switched network where no special
performance requirements are involved.
This standard provides common denominators for subscriber line
performance, independent of facility types, construction processes
or equipment, and circuit provisioning methods.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to describe quantitatively the
performance characteristics of telephone loops and indicate current
acceptable performance criteria.
