A circuit used for connecting a subscriber in a central office to all other services in/out of the switching equipment (e.g., Long Distance Trunk, Operator Trunk, etc.).

Each telephone or exchange line is called a trunk.
(1) Group of circuits that carry call traffic in and out of the switch. (2) Circuit or channel connecting two exchanges or two switching devices. (3) Circuit capable of being switched at both ends and provided with the necessary terminating and signaling equipment. [Trunk differs from a line which is a circuit, one end of which does not terminate on a switching machine.

Trunk: a logical concept indicating the ability to carry a specified channel, usually 64 kbit/s, in circuit mode between two points. The trunk is implemented by one or more physical links. In the TDM context, a communication channel serving multiple connections based on time division multiplexing such as E1 between two switching systems, for example between two PSTN switches or a PSTN switch and a Media Gateway.

A trunk is a communication channel between two systems. This term usually refers to large bandwidth line between telephone switching centers. Trunks can handle thousands of voice signals.
A transmission channel connecting two switching machines. With regard to NMS products, a trunk is defined as the physical interface between the telephone network and the board. It can be used interchangeably with line because it could be connected to either a trunk or a line. In telephone networks, a trunk is a shared connection between two switches. It differs from a line in that it is not dedicated to one subscriber or extension. Trunks should have good machine-to-machine interfaces. Compared to lines, trunks have different signaling requirements, including possibly billing information.
Also called a Line, Exchange Line or Circuit. A telephone circuit linking two switching systems.

A main or high-bandwidth communication cable between a telco central office and a PBX or between PBXs in different locations.
An analog or digital connection from a circuit switch which carries user media content and may carry telephony signaling (MF, R2, etc.). Digital trunks may be transported and may appear at the Media Gateway as channels within a framed bit stream. Trunks are typically provisioned in groups, each member of which provides equivalent routing and service.
1) In a communications network, a single transmission channel between two switching centers or nodes, or both. 2) A circuit between switchboards or other switching equipment, as distinguished from circuits which extend between central office switching equipment and information origination/termination equipment. Trunks may be used to interconnect switches, such as major, minor, public and private switches, to form networks.
