A T-interface or T reference point is used for basic rate access in an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) environment. It is a User–network interface reference point that is characterized by a four-wire, 144 kbit/s (2B+D) user rate.

Other characteristics of a T-interface are:

  • it accommodates the link access and transport layer function in the ISDN architecture
  • it is located at the user premises
  • it is distance sensitive to the servicing Network termination 1
  • it functions in a manner similar to that of the Channel service units (CSUs) and the Data service units (DSUs).

    • The T interface is electrically equivalent to the S interface, and the two are jointly referred to as the S/T interface.
