-
0.5 Virtual Tributary 2 (signal) converts to about 10472.7273 modem (110).
Common Use Cases
-
Transporting E1 (2.048 Mbps) circuits over SONET networks.
-
Configuring SONET multiplexers to handle lower-rate PDH channels.
-
Comparing modern SONET/SDH signals with legacy modem speeds for vintage system emulation.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool for planning telecom network capacity involving SONET and PDH equipment.
-
Leverage conversions for documentation or testing of legacy communication systems.
-
Remember that nominal bit rates do not include overhead or error correction data.
Limitations
-
Does not account for signaling overhead or error correction in the conversion.
-
Modem (110) speed is an outdated standard and might not reflect actual throughput in modern systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Virtual Tributary 2 (signal) represent?
-
It is a SONET/SDH sub-rate signal format that carries a 2.048 Mbps payload, allowing lower-rate PDH circuits to be multiplexed into higher-rate containers.
-
What is modem (110) speed used for?
-
Modem (110) refers to an approximate 110 bits per second modem transmission speed, commonly used in early dial-up and teletype communications.
-
Why convert between Virtual Tributary 2 and modem (110)?
-
Users convert these units to compare modern SONET/SDH signals with legacy modem data rates, useful for vintage system emulation or telecom documentation.
Key Terminology
