What does OC192 represent in data transfer?

OC-192 is a standardized SONET optical line rate set at 9.95328 Gbit/s, commonly called 10 Gbit/s, used to carry large volumes of digital traffic over fiber-optic links.

What is the T1 (payload) data rate?

T1 (payload) represents the usable data throughput of a North American T1 line, calculated as 24 channels at 64 kb/s each, totaling 1.536 Mbps excluding overhead.

Why convert from OC192 to T1 (payload)?

Converting enables telecom engineers to relate high-speed backbone optical capacities to multiple lower-speed T1 channels for network planning and legacy equipment integration.
