What does T1Z (payload) represent?

T1Z (payload) denotes the user-data portion of a T1/DS1 circuit, excluding framing overhead, typically about 1.536 Mbps.

What is the nominal rate of an STS24 signal?

STS24 has a nominal line rate of about 1,244.16 Mbit/s formed by multiplexing 24 STS-1 channels.

Why convert from T1Z (payload) to STS24 (signal)?

To integrate legacy T1 data throughput into higher-capacity SONET networks for aggregation and backbone transport.

Examples

10 T1Z (payload) converts to approximately 0.012409979 STS24 (signal).
1000 T1Z (payload) converts to about 1.2409979 STS24 (signal).

Common Use Cases

Estimating usable user-data throughput on legacy T1 circuits for billing or monitoring.
Mapping payload data to SONET hierarchy for network backbone aggregation.
Capacity planning that involves integrating T1 lines with modern optical transport.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that T1Z (payload) is informal and may vary slightly depending on framing overhead.
Consider SONET overhead which reduces STS24 usable payload below nominal line rate.
Use this conversion to aid network design but account for dynamic network conditions separately.

Limitations

T1Z (payload) is a non-standard unit and its exact value can slightly differ with framing methods.
STS24 payload is slightly less than nominal due to SONET protocol overhead.
Conversion does not reflect variable network factors like errors or changing line conditions.
