What Is This Tool?

This tool enables you to convert data transfer measurements from STS1 (payload), a SONET user-data capacity, to STM-16 (signal), an SDH standardized line rate used in high-capacity carrier networks.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in STS1 (payload) you want to convert.
  • Select STS1 (payload) as the source unit and STM-16 (signal) as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent STM-16 (signal) value.

Key Features

  • Converts STS1 (payload) data transfer units to STM-16 (signal) accurately.
  • Supports telecom network planning by aligning SONET and SDH metrics.
  • Browser-based and easy to use with instant conversions.
  • Includes examples for practical understanding of the conversion factor.

Examples

  • 5 STS1 (payload) equals 0.099464699 STM-16 (signal).
  • 10 STS1 (payload) equals 0.198929398 STM-16 (signal).

Common Use Cases

  • Provisioning OC-1/STS-1 circuits over a carrier backbone to carry DS3 or aggregate DS1 channels.
  • Capacity planning for SONET rings based on available payload throughput.
  • Mapping Ethernet or ATM data into SONET payloads for optical transport.
  • Planning high-capacity optical transport circuits aggregating multiple STS-1 within STM-16 signals.
  • Interconnecting points of presence or central offices with aggregated services.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion to align SONET payload data with SDH signal standards for clearer network design.
  • Consider network overhead and framing when interpreting conversion results for real throughput.
  • Cross-check compatibility between SONET and SDH equipment during integration.

Limitations

  • Conversion reflects nominal gross line rates and payload capacities, not accounting for overhead or error correction.
  • Actual throughput can vary because of network conditions and framing details.
  • Compatibility issues may arise between SONET and SDH implementations during system integration.
