What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps transform data transfer rates measured in megabit per second (SI definition) into STS48 signal equivalents used in high-capacity telecommunications networks.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in megabit/second (SI definition) you want to convert.
  • Select megabit/second (SI def.) as the source unit and STS48 (signal) as the target unit.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent STS48 signal value.

Key Features

  • Converts megabit/second (SI) values to STS48 (signal) units accurately.
  • Useful for telecommunications network capacity and planning.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations.

Examples

  • 10 megabit/second converts to approximately 0.004018776 STS48.
  • 1000 megabit/second converts to approximately 0.4018776 STS48.

Common Use Cases

  • Mapping standard internet speeds into SONET signal levels for network design.
  • Planning carrier backbone links that use STS48 for aggregated traffic transport.
  • Designing high-capacity interconnects between data centers and core routers.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values use the SI definition of megabit per second for accurate conversion.
  • Use this conversion for capacity planning, considering network overhead and real-world constraints.
  • Combine converted values when aggregating lower-rate circuits onto STS48 transport channels.

Limitations

  • Conversion is valid only for SI-defined megabit/second units, not binary-based units.
  • STS48 represents a fixed transport rate; fractional results reflect logical usage, not physical channels.
  • Does not account for protocol overhead or multiplexing inefficiencies affecting actual throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does megabit/second (SI def.) mean?
It is a data rate unit representing one million bits transmitted per second, based on the SI prefix 'mega'.

What is STS48 (signal) used for?
STS48 is a SONET signal standard used for transporting large amounts of multiplexed digital data over optical fiber networks.

Can I convert from binary-based megabits to STS48 using this tool?
No, this conversion only supports megabit/second defined by the SI prefix, not binary-based units.

Key Terminology

Megabit/second (SI def.)
A data transfer rate unit equal to one million bits transmitted each second, based on the SI prefix 'mega'.
STS48 (signal)
A SONET synchronous transport signal level equivalent to OC-48, providing a transport rate of approximately 2.48832 Gbit/s over optical fiber.
SONET
Synchronous Optical Networking, a standard for transporting digital signals over optical fiber with precise timing and framing.
