What does terabyte per second (TB/s) measure?

Terabyte per second (TB/s) measures the transfer of one terabyte of data each second, representing extremely high data transfer rates.

What is OC192 used for?

OC192 is a SONET optical line rate of about 9.95328 Gbit/s used for carrying large volumes of digital traffic over fiber-optic links in telecommunications.

Can I use this conversion outside SONET/SDH networks?

Conversions to OC192 are meaningful primarily within SONET/SDH contexts where this optical carrier rate is defined and deployed.
