Explain the term network interface unit (NIU) in reference to your home telephone service.

What will be an ideal response?


When you connect your modem to a phone jack, the line then runs to either your network interface unit (NIU) or the demarc. The term "network interface unit" usually describes the small box on the side of a home that accepts the incoming lines from the telephone company and then splits them to the different wall outlets. "Demarc" more commonly describes large connections used in businesses. The terms always describe the interface between the lines the telephone company is responsible for and the lines for which you are responsible.
