Cisco 6160 can be operated as a carrier class DSLAM with asymmetric digital subscriber line (ASDL), symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL), and integrated services digital network (ISDN) digital subscriber line (IDSL) interfaces. The Cisco 6160 is intended for use in North American central office facilities. The chassis is designed to accept multiple types of xDSL line cards, which can be mixed in various applications. The chassis has 32 short slots for line cards and two double-length slots for NI-2 cards. The chassis is mountable in a standard 23-inch NEBS 7-foot rack.

The Cisco 6160 DSLAM provides end-to-end service by handling voice or data traffic, or both, between a subscriber home or office, a telephone central office (CO) facility, and various networks. The Cisco 6160 DSLAM concentrates all traffic onto a single high-speed WAN trunk for transport to the Internet or to the corporate intranet.

Cables connected to the POTS splitter route ADSL digital data signals to line cards in the Cisco 6160 chassis and voice signals to the CO facility switching network.
