The 8:1 Multi-Line System multiplexes eight 64 Kbps Clear channel POTS lines into a digital signal and transports this signal over a single copper twisted pair utilizing low power 2B1Q line coding. These POTS lines are demultiplexed at the end of the DSL using a Remote Terminal (RT) or Remote Terminal Cabinet (RTC). The system transports CLASSSM services from a Central Office (CO) or remote location (i.e. CEV, hut) to the RT/RTC at the customer premise. DSL distances may be extended up to 304,000 ft. using Express, Mid-Span, Local or Back Power options.
