Data Communications Equipment

Data Communications Equipment 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 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.
