Why convert OC768 to OC1?

To break down high-capacity optical signals into base units for provisioning, multiplexing, or detailed network analysis.

Can all network hardware handle OC768 to OC1 conversions?

No, hardware must support demultiplexing or multiplexing at these rates, and network synchronization may add complexity.
