Tutorial: SONET
SONET usually employs the Optical Carrier system. The Optical Carrier is a method of transporting multiple DS3-rate signals on
Optical Carrier classifications are based on the abbreviation OC followed by a number specifying a multiple of 51.84 Mbit/s: n × 51.84 Mbit/s => OC-n. For example, an OC-3 transmission medium has 3 times the transmission capacity of OC-1. OC-1 is a SONET line with transmission speeds of up to 51.84 Mbit/s (: 50.112 Mbit/s; : 1.728 Mbit/s) using.

What Is SONET? SONET, standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is a set of optical
Optical Carrier classifications are based on the abbreviation OC followed by a number specifying a multiple of 51.84 Mbit/s: n × 51.84 Mbit/s => OC-n. For example, an OC-3 transmission medium has 3 times the transmission capacity of OC-1. OC-1 is a SONET line with transmission speeds of up to 51.84 Mbit/s (payload: 50.112 Mbit/s; overhead: 1.728 Mbit/s) using optical fiber.
