What Is This Tool?

This converter enables users to translate data transfer rates expressed in megabits per second (SI definition) into STS3c (payload) units, which are used in SONET optical networks for high-capacity data transport.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the data transfer rate in megabit per second (SI def.)
  • Select 'megabit/second (SI def.)' as the input unit
  • Choose 'STS3c (payload)' as the output unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent STS3c payload value

Key Features

  • Converts megabit/second (SI def.) rates to STS3c (payload) values accurately
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installations
  • Helpful for telecommunications and network engineering contexts
  • Supports understanding of data rates in optical backbone and leased-line services

Examples

  • 100 megabit/second (SI def.) converts to approximately 0.66517667 STS3c (payload)
  • 500 megabit/second (SI def.) converts to approximately 3.32588335 STS3c (payload)

Common Use Cases

  • Translating internet broadband speeds for optical network provisioning
  • Planning backbone optical links carrying Ethernet or IP circuits
  • Estimating leased-line capacities for enterprise network services
  • Mapping client signals like ATM or frame relay into SONET payload containers

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify bandwidth requirements before conversion for precise network design
  • Use this tool to compare advertised data rates with optical transport capabilities
  • Remember that STS3c payload rates account for SONET overhead
  • Utilize conversions in network engineering and leased-line planning

Limitations

  • STS3c payload is slightly lower than the gross SONET rate due to framing overhead
  • The conversion applies only to the concatenated SONET payload, not other protocols
  • Values below the STS3c line rate convert to fractions representing conceptual partial signals

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a megabit per second (SI def.) represent?
It represents a data transfer rate of one million bits per second based on the decimal SI prefix 'mega'.

What is STS3c (payload) used for?
STS3c (payload) is used in SONET optical networks to carry high-bandwidth client signals within a single concatenated payload container.

Why is the STS3c payload rate lower than its gross line rate?
Because of SONET framing and overhead bytes, the usable payload rate is slightly less than the total line rate.

Key Terminology

Megabit per second (SI def.)
A unit of data transfer rate equal to one million bits transmitted every second, based on the decimal SI prefix 'mega'.
STS3c (payload)
A concatenated SONET payload container providing a contiguous transport channel with a gross line rate of 155.52 Mbps used in optical networks.
SONET
Synchronous Optical Network, a standardized protocol that transfers multiple digital bit streams over optical fiber.
