This Declaration of Conformity means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec- tive, operational and safety requirements.

In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord).

This protection may be particularly important in rural areas.
