What does STS1 (signal) represent?

STS1 (signal) is the basic SONET electrical/frame unit carrying a line rate of 51.84 megabits per second, framing every 125 microseconds and corresponding to OC-1 optical carrier.

What is OC192 used for?

OC192 is a high-speed SONET optical line rate standardized at approximately 10 Gbit/s, used for carrying large volumes of digital traffic over fiber-optic networks.

Can this converter be used for non-SONET networks?

No, the conversion applies within SONET networks and may not directly translate to non-SONET technologies.
