What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform data transfer rates measured in gigabyte per second (SI definition) into equivalent OC3 units, which represent optical transmission speeds used in telecommunications. It is designed for users needing to translate storage or computing throughput into standardized network link speeds.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gigabyte per second (SI def.) you want to convert.
  • Select 'gigabyte/second (SI def.)' as the source unit and 'OC3' as the target unit.
  • Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent OC3 data rate.

Key Features

  • Converts gigabyte/second (SI definition) to OC3 optical carrier rate
  • Supports planning and comparison in telecom and data center networks
  • Browser-based, easy to use unit converter tool
  • Includes example conversions for practical reference

Examples

  • 2 gigabyte/second (SI def.) converts to approximately 102.88 OC3.
  • 0.5 gigabyte/second (SI def.) converts to about 25.72 OC3.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying backbone network throughput for ISPs and regional points-of-presence.
  • Describing storage device sequential read/write bandwidth in enterprise systems.
  • Planning leased WAN circuits and long-haul fiber optic links in telecom.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent use of SI units to avoid confusion with binary-based gigabyte definitions.
  • Verify bit-to-byte conversions carefully when interpreting results.
  • Understand OC3's fixed bitrate limits granularity in some scenarios.

Limitations

  • OC3 rates are fixed to 155.52 Mbps, restricting detailed granularity.
  • The gigabyte/second unit uses bytes, requiring careful interpretation when converting to bit-based OC3.
  • Potential discrepancies may arise between binary and SI gigabyte standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gigabyte per second (SI def.) measure?
It measures data transfer rate using the SI definition where 1 gigabyte equals 10^9 bytes transferred each second.

What is an OC3 unit used for?
OC3 represents a SONET optical transmission rate of 155.52 megabits per second used primarily for long-distance and backbone telecom links.

Why convert from gigabyte/second to OC3?
This conversion translates general data rates into standardized SONET network rates, useful for telecommunications planning and equipment comparison.

Key Terminology

Gigabyte/second (SI def.)
A data rate unit representing 10^9 bytes transferred per second using SI decimal prefixes.
OC3
An Optical Carrier Level 3 transmission rate of 155.52 megabits per second used in synchronous optical networking (SONET).
SONET
Synchronous Optical Network, a standardized digital communication protocol used to transmit multiple digital bit streams over optical fiber.
