Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does OC768 represent?
-
OC768 is a very high-speed optical carrier rate in the SONET hierarchy, used mainly in fiber-optic backbone links and telecom core networks.
-
What is T3Z (payload)?
-
T3Z (payload) is a unit measuring the amount of application-level user data within a T3Z system, typically used for engineering purposes like capacity planning.
