What does OC768 represent?

OC768 is a high-capacity optical carrier rate in the SONET hierarchy with a line speed of approximately 39.8 Gbit/s, used in fiber-optic backbone links.

What is E.P.T.A. 3 (payload)?

E.P.T.A. 3 (payload) is a specific unit that measures the size of a single payload in systems that implement the E.P.T.A. 3 data-transfer format.

Can I use this converter for systems not using E.P.T.A. 3?

No, the conversion is designed specifically for systems following the E.P.T.A. 3 specification and may not apply or be accurate for other payload formats.
