Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure that the B8ZS coding is preserved without loss to maintain correct conversion
-
Use this converter when working with telecommunications networks involving TDM and SONET/SDH standards
-
Remember that line conditions and framing overhead can affect actual throughput beyond fixed conversion rates
-
Verify conversion results when designing carrier-grade backbone links or multi-technology transport
Limitations
-
Conversion requires preserved B8ZS coding intact and assumes fixed transfer rates
-
Actual throughput may vary due to line conditions or framing overhead not accounted for here
-
The tool does not include adjustments for protocol-specific overhead or transmission errors
