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
harmonized 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 300 418: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 2 048 kbit/s digital unstructured and
structured leased lines (D2048U and D2048S); Network interface presentation";
- ETS 300 419: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased line
(D2048S); Connection characteristics".
This ETS is based on information from ITU-T Recommendations and ETSI publications and the relevant
documents are quoted where appropriate.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS 17 November 1995
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 28 February 1996
Date of latest publication of new National Standard 31 August 1996
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e):
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 August 1996
Introduction
The Council Directive on the application of ONP to leased lines (92/44/EEC) concerns the harmonization
of conditions for open and efficient access to, and use of, the leased lines provided over public
telecommunications networks, and the availability throughout the European Union (EU) of a minimum set
of leased lines with harmonized technical characteristics.
The consequence of the Directive is that telecommunications organizations within the EU 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 13) is a subset of this
corresponding ETS.
ETS 300 166 and CCITT Recommendations G.703, G.704 and G.706 are used as the basis for the
terminal interface.

1 Scope
This ETS specifies the full physical and electrical characteristics, the necessary functional characteristics
and the corresponding test principles for a terminal equipment interface for connection to the Network
Termination Points (NTPs) of Open Network Provision (ONP) 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased lines
using 120 Ω interfaces with an information transfer rate of 1 984 kbit/s without restriction on binary
content.
This ETS is not intended for regulatory purposes. A separate TBR (TBR 13) 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 2 048 kbit/s
digital structured leased line. A terminal equipment interface that conforms to this ETS will also be
compatible with an ONP 2 048 kbit/s unstructured leased line. This ETS 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 NTP are outside the
scope of this ETS.

4 Requirements
The terminal equipment interface is for use with 2 048 kbit/s structured leased lines that provide
bidirectional, point-to-point digital connections with an information transfer rate of 1 984 kbit/s without
restriction on binary content. Any structuring of the data within the transparent 1 984 kbit/s part of the
frame is the responsibility of the user.
4.1 Physical characteristics
Currently no standardised connector is readily available. Consequently, the only method of connection that
can be specified in this ETS is the use of solid conductors of 0,4 mm to 0,6 mm. This ETS requires the
terminal equipment to be capable of presenting either a point for the attachment of unterminated solid
conductors, or solid conductors themselves (see subclause 4.1.1). It is a requirement that such a
connection method be available to be provided for use with the terminal equipment if necessary.
In order to allow connection to be made using other methods (e.g. connectors), the terminal equipment is
permitted to be supplied with a connection method suitable for use with those methods (see
subclause 4.1.2).
NOTE:     The following are examples of arrangements that comply with the requirements. The
list below should not be regarded as an exhaustive list of all permitted arrangements:
a)    a cord, permanently connected to the terminal equipment at one end and
unterminated at the other end, with wires that are solid conductors with
diameters in the range 0,4 mm to 0,6 mm;
b)    a cord, connected via a plug and socket to the terminal equipment at one end
and unterminated at the other end, with wires that are solid conductors with
diameters in the range 0,4 mm to 0,6 mm;
c)    an insulation displacement connector, designed to accept wires with solid
conductors with diameters in the range 0,4 mm to 0,6 mm, but with no cord;
d)    a screw connector, designed to accept wires with solid conductors with
diameters in the range 0,4 mm to 0,6 mm, but with no cord;
e)    the arrangement in b) plus one or more additional alternative cords with the
same plug or socket arrangement at the terminal end and any plug or socket at
the other end;
f)    the arrangement in c) or d) plus one or more cords suitable for connection to the
terminal equipment at one end and any plug or socket at the other end.
The transmit pair is the output from the terminal equipment interface. The receive pair is the input to the
terminal equipment interface, as shown in figure 1. Where the terms "output" and "input" are used without
qualification in this ETS, they refer to the terminal equipment interface.

to which solid wire conductors with diameters in the range 0,4 mm to 0,6 mm may be connected; or
b)    a wiring arrangement connected by any means to the terminal equipment, with unterminated solid
wire conductors with diameters in the range 0,4 mm to 0,6 mm at the end distant from the terminal
equipment.

Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.2.
4.2.1.3 Output timing
This requirement is such that the terminal equipment is capable of operating when connected to leased
lines capable of carrying user timing within the range 2 048 kbit/s ± 50 parts per million (ppm) and when
connected to leased lines that provide timing that is synchronous to the network timing. For further
information see annex E.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 420 E1:2004
Page 12
ETS 300 420: November 1995
Requirement: The terminal equipment shall have:
a) an internal clock which shall provide a bit rate at the output port within the limits of
2 048 kbit/s ± 50 ppm; and
b) the capability to provide a clock loop such that the signal timing at the output port is derived from
the timing at the input port.
The terminal equipment may also have:
c) an external reference signal input from which the output timing may be derived.
Test: For case a) the test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.3. The capability to provide a
clock loop, case b), and the derivation of a clock signal from an external reference signal input, case c),
are covered by the test of subclause A.2.8.
4.2.1.4 Impedance towards ground
Requirement: Where the terminal equipment has a ground, the impedance towards ground of the output
port shall be greater than 1 000 Ω for frequencies in the range 10 Hz to 1 MHz when measured with a
sinusoidal test voltage of 2 V root mean square (rms). For the purpose of this requirement, ground shall
be the terminal equipment common reference point or test reference point.
NOTE: This requirement is included to allow transformerless implementations.
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.7.
4.2.1.5 Output jitter
Requirement: The peak-to-peak output jitter shall not exceed the limits of table 2 when measured with a
band pass filter with linear cut-off with the defined cut-off frequencies. At frequencies below the lower 3 dB
point, the attenuation of the high pass filter shall rise with a value equal to 20 dB per decade. At
frequencies above the upper 3 dB point, the attenuation of the low pass filtration shall rise with a value
greater than, or equal to, 60 dB per decade.
For the purpose of testing, any signal input from which the output timing is derived shall be provided with
the maximum tolerable input jitter, and with the maximum tolerable input frequency deviation, as specified
by the manufacturer.
Where the output timing of the terminal equipment is taken from the leased line, the input to the terminal
equipment shall be provided with components of sinusoidal jitter at points on the curve of figure 3 and
table 4.
NOTE: A separate requirement for output jitter at frequencies below 40 Hz is not required
because the measurement filter with a first order lower cut-off will allow the jitter to
have a spectrum whose amplitude rises at 20 dB/decade as the frequency reduces
below 40 Hz. Where timing is taken from the leased line, the test uses input jitter
frequencies from 20 Hz upwards.
