Area of ​​application of the Uk2 interface in the subscriber access network

With U K2 is the ISDN - Primary Rate Interface an interface for the transmission path between the local exchange (local exchange) of the network operator and the network termination ( NTPM ) designated by the customer. It requires two copper two -wire lines . The U in the designation stands for the reference point of the interface in the ISDN reference model (see figure), while the K for K is upferleitungen.

For physical transmission , the ternary HDB3 code is largely used in Germany , which is much more energy efficient than the AMI code used in the USA . For some years now, HDSL and SDSL have also been used increasingly around the world because of their greater range . The data transfer rate of the interface is a maximum of 2 Mbit / s.
