A T1 mux is a device that that can combine slower than T1 circuits into a single T1 circuit, provided that the aggregate bandwidth required does not exceed the 1.544Mhz T1 bandwidth capacity. In simpler terms, multiple DS0 circuits (up to 24 DS0s) or multiple <T1 speed circuits (up to six 256kb circuits) can be combined into a T1 using a multiplexer. The most common mux (T1 multiplexer) is a channel bank, designed to combine only DS0-level circuits into a T1. A Statistical Mux (StatMux) need not conform to DS0 multiples, so it offers more flexibility than a simple channel bank. T1 multiplexing, or muxing, is the act of taking the general multiplexing process and applying it to T1 technology and systems. It is an ideal method for distributing and dispersing a traditional T1 line into various outputs so that many people can benefit from the connectivity of the T1. For example, this process is often used in an office or a business - the T1 line goes into the building as a single line, gets muxed and distributed to many PCs, so many users have access to the T1's speed and power.
