    Default Why -48V?

    this is my homework..

    One of my mentors asked me this question and yet, i haven't figured out the answer to this question..

    Why is -48 V most preferred as a power supply for telecom and telephone lines? and why negative supply? What's the reason behind it?

    Any suggestions?


    thanks for any help..

    If you Google it, your question will be answered:
    Why Google is better than Yahoo

    You have to remember something, Yahoo is not a search engine specifically. Yahoo is a web portal, and it's the biggest one out there for all sorts of stuff like movie reviews, games, personals, forums all that kind of stuff. But Googles search engine is superior in every way. It does offer similar service that compete with Yahoo, but it's main object is to be the number one search engine.

    Why would the link indicate a 1939 New York Times quote? Why not just say the site name in the link?
