OC3?

[mceng]

Could someone explain to me exactly what OC3 is please?

 

[BrainStorm]

It a specification like T1, T2, T3 but for optic fiber data links.

Basically a "really powerful connection"!

OC3 is 167 Mb/s
(A T1 is 1.544 Mb/s)

There are also
ds-3 45 mbps
oc-3 155 mbps
oc-12 622 mbps
oc-48 2.4 gbps
oc-192 10 gbps

If there are any missed just add on.

I love you Sarge....

DS-0 = 64Kbs
T1 = 1.544Mbs
E1 = 2.048Mbs
E3 = 34.368Mbs
T3 = 44.736Mbs
OC-1 = 51.84Mbps (and multiples thereof)

It's 155/Mbps

Was I the first one to say it??

Thanks peteb,

They're mostly used in Europe.

nope it 155 mega<b>bits</b> per second - big difference (like 800%)

yep - European standards also used in S. Korea strangely enough. Still remains in much of the old colonial areas to so I'm pretty sure (and I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong) that Australia and Singapore use E as well.

You're right, 155Mb.

There's also...
oc-768 = ~40Gb
...and beyond, but they're not used much outside the lab.

However, DWDM products are finally filtering down to the public which allow speeds up to 45Gb/s over a single fiber strand.

By the way, can anyone remember what kind of connection they used in the movie 'Swordfish'? They had these three big trucks for their internet connection, and I'm thinking they said they were OC3 links, but I'm not sure.

Then there is OC-768 which is 40 gigabit. But it isn't widely available.

That's the biggest understatement I've seen on here yet

We're getting an OC-2 connection to an ISP down the street, and then they're gonna share out some bandwidth to us. The fiber was laid last week. Should be very nice when it's done

BTW, that's for where I work, not at home. lol
