Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Business
TeleCommunications (BTC) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI).
This ETS results from a mandate from the Commission of the European Community (CEC) to provide
harmonised standards for the support of the Directive on Open Network Provision (ONP) of leased lines
(92/44/EEC).
There are two other standards directly related to this ETS:
ETS 300 288: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 64 kbit/s digital unrestricted leased line with
octet integrity (D64U), Network interface presentation";
ETS 300 289: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 64 kbit/s digital unrestricted leased line with
octet integrity (D64U), Connection characteristics".
This ETS is based on information from CCITT Recommendations and ETSI publications and the relevant
documents are quoted where appropriate.
Introduction
The Council Directive on the application of Open Network Provision (ONP) to leased lines (92/44/EEC)
concerns the harmonisation of conditions for open and efficient access to, and use of, the leased lines
provided over public telecommunications networks and the availability throughout the Community (EEC) of
a minimum set of leased lines with harmonised technical characteristics.
The consequence of the Directive is that Telecommunications Organisations within the EEC shall make
available a set of leased lines between points in these countries with specified connection characteristics
and specified interfaces.
Two classes of standard will be used for the interfaces of terminal equipment designed for connection to
the ONP leased lines. European Telecommunication Standards (ETSs), which are voluntary, give the full
technical specifications for these interfaces, whereas Technical Basis for Regulations (TBRs) give the
essential requirements under the Second Phase Directive (91/263/EEC) for attachment to the leased lines.
This standard, which is an ETS, belongs to the first category. The TBR (TBR 14) is a subset of this
corresponding ETS.
ETS 300 166 and CCITT Recommendation G.703 are used as the basis for the terminal interface.

1 Scope
This ETS specifies the full physical and electrical characteristics and corresponding test principles for a
terminal equipment interface for connection to the network termination points of ONP 64 kbit/s digital
unrestricted leased lines with octet integrity.
This ETS is not written for regulatory purposes. A separate TBR (TBR 14) covers the essential
requirements for attachment under the Second Phase Directive (91/263/EEC).
This ETS is to ensure that the interface of the terminal equipment is compatible with the ONP 64 kbit/s
digital unrestricted leased line with octet integrity. It is applicable to all interfaces designed for connection
to the leased line, however in the cases of apparatus that carries a particular service, of complex
apparatus and of apparatus in private networks, other ETSs may apply in addition to this ETS.
Customer premises wiring and installation between the terminal equipment and the Network Termination
Point (NTP) are outside the scope of this ETS.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.
[1] CCITT Recommendation G.703 (1991): "Physical/electrical characteristics of
hierarchical digital interfaces".
[2] CCITT Recommendation O.152 (1988): "Error performance measuring
equipment for 64 kbit/s paths".

NOTE: This ETS also contains a number of informative references which have been included to
indicate the sources from which various material has been derived, hence they do not
have an associated normative reference number. Details of these publications are given
in Annex C. In some cases the same publication may have been referenced in both a
normative and an informative manner.
3 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
Leased lines: the telecommunications facilities provided by a public telecommunications network that
provide defined transmission characteristics between network termination points and that do not include
switching functions that the user can control, (e.g. on-demand switching).

ETS 300 290: January 1994
Network Termination Point (NTP): all physical connections and their technical access specifications
which form part of the public telecommunications network and are necessary for access to and efficient
communication through that public network.
Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuit: a secondary circuit which is so designed and protected that
under normal and single fault conditions, the voltage between any two accessible parts and, for class 1
equipment, between any accessible part and the equipment protective earthing terminal does not exceed a
safe value (subclause 1.2.8.5 of EN 60950 [3]).
Terminal Equipment (TE): equipment intended to be connected to the public telecommunications network,
i.e.:
a) to be connected directly to the termination of a public telecommunication network; or,
b) to interwork with a public telecommunications network being connected directly or indirectly to
the termination of a public telecommunications network,
in order to send, process, or receive information.

5.1 Physical characteristics
Requirement: The terminal equipment shall provide an 8-contact plug of the type specified in
ISO/IEC 10173 [6] with contact assignments as specified in table 1. In addition, the terminal equipment
may provide an alternative method of connection.
NOTE 1: The use of a shielded cord or cable may be necessary to meet radiation and immunity
requirements defined in Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards. The common
reference point does not necessarily need to be earth.
NOTE 2: The alternative connection method is primarily for the purpose of permitting hardwired
presentations of the leased line using insulation displacement terminals and wire with
solid conductors having diameters in the range from 0,4 to 0,6 mm.

"input" are used without qualification in this ETS, they refer to the terminal equipment
interface.
