integrated services digital network
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of communication standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data, and other network services over the digitalised circuits of the public switched telephone network. W ...
(ISDN) interface used in private networks. It is derived from the

In public networks, the maximum cable length of an U bus is between 4 and 8 km, and the maximum length of an
S0-bus is 900 meters for Point-to-Point configuration and about 150-300m for point-to-multipoint configurations. The U
p0-bus has, depending on cable quality, a reach of between 2 and 4 km, far more than the
S0-bus. This allows the use of ISDN telephone equipment in large private networks. Unlike the
S0-bus, the U
p0-bus runs at half duplex; that is, both sides alternate in sending and receiving.
While the
S0-bus allows for several ISDN device connections (up to 8), the U
p0-bus can connect only two devices, one at each end of the cable.
