|
A digital subscriber line access multiplexer, (DSLAM) is a multiplexer located in the telephone company exchange that provides consumers access to DSL services over twisted pair copper cabling.
The device separates the voice and data components from the subscriber lines and aggregates the data for sending over the network. The DSLAM usually aggregates lines at a contention ratio of 50:1 or 20:1.
