A T-1 is 2-pair or 4 wires.

However, many of the smartjacks are now HDSL capable (or VDSL depending on
proximity to CO) and that is delivered over a single pair or two wires.

The smartjack is doing magical conversion between the two. ;)

HTH,

Scott

Subject: T1 delievered on 2 wires or 4???

I recently terminated a T1 and ISDN PRI in a remote location and was able to
see that the TELCO had terminated the T1 using a single pair and the PRI
using a single pair from the 25 pair bundle coming into the Data Center's
smart jacks.

I was always under the impression that from the CSU/DSU (in my case it was
built into the router) to the smartjack and subsequently the NI card in the
MPO was 4 wires. 1 pair TX and 1 pair RX.

Maybe between the CSU/DSU and the NI card it's 2 wires and then 4 for the
distance to the CO? ??? I am confused because I always believed that DSL was
born out of the efforts of finding a single pair alternative to
T1 technology.

Should PRI and DS1 be 1 pair or 2?
