What Is This Tool?
This tool enables conversion between STM-64 (signal) and STS1 (signal), two key units in synchronous optical networking used in telecommunications to manage data transfer rates within SDH and SONET standards.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in STM-64 (signal) you want to convert
-
Select STM-64 (signal) as the source unit and STS1 (signal) as the target unit
-
Initiate the conversion process to get the equivalent amount in STS1 (signal)
-
Use the result for network planning or device configuration tasks
Key Features
-
Converts STM-64 (signal) to STS1 (signal) based on a defined ratio
