DCE Devices Examples

Please provide me the information about the technology working behind the DEC Devices along with the examples of various DCE Devices as I have to prepare a presentation on DCE Devices and I don’t have any clue about them?

I want to know the examples of Data Communications Equipment (DCE) Devices so will you please tell me?

Data Communications Equipment (DCE) can be classified as equipment that transmits or receives analogue or digital signals through a network.

DCE works at the physical layer of the OSI model taking data generated by Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and converting it into a signal that can then be transmitted over a communications link.

A common DCE example is a modem which works as a translator of digital and analogue signals.

In general, data communications equipment is used to perform signal exchange, coding and line clocking tasks as a part of intermediate equipment or DTE.

Other common DCE examples include:

ISDN adapters

Satellites (including base stations)

Microwave stations

NIC (network interface cards)

DCE is connected to the data terminal equipment (DTE) and data transmission circuit (DTC) to convert transmission signals.
