Digital loop carrier
open-in-new
<p>A digital loop carrier (DLC) is a system which uses <a href="/facts/Digital_data/JChckAvr">digital</a> transmission to extend the range of the <a href="/facts/Local_loop/rSRfLPaq">local loop</a> further than would be possible using only <a href="/facts/Twisted_pair/L426Jk2C">twisted pair</a> copper wires. A DLC digitizes and multiplexes the individual signals carried by the local loops onto a single datastream on the DLC segment. </p>
