DSL and cable modems are CSU/DSUs because they convert from one type of digital signal to another. A CSU/DSU is the equivalent of the modem for an entire LAN.

Lets say your router have a serial port and ISP is providing you a lease line , lease line will be optical fiber where as router is having serial port , so u need a in between device to perform such signal conversion functions.

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
