-
High OC768 line speeds require precise hardware or software to avoid data loss
-
Tool is specific to telecom units and not suitable for general data transfer unit conversions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does OC768 represent in this converter?
-
OC768 denotes a high-capacity optical carrier rate in the SONET hierarchy with a line speed of about 39.8 Gbit/s, used for fiber-optic backbone links.
-
What is meant by T0 (B8ZS payload)?
-
T0 (B8ZS payload) refers to a T-carrier bitstream encoded using Bipolar with 8-Zero Substitution, preserving the line coding for transport or analysis.
-
Why is this conversion important?
-
This conversion helps translate high-rate optical signals into individual T-carrier streams for integration with legacy TDM systems and telecom testing.
Key Terminology
