Optical Carrier - 12; SONET Carrier 622.08 Mb/s
Optical carrier technology. An OC-12 line provides bandwidth of 622-Mbps and 8,064 64-Kbps channels.
Optical Carrier 12 (622 Mbps) specification used in ATM/SONET.
Refers to a circuit that transmits 600,000,000 bits per second. An OC-12 line can handle over 400 times more data than a T1 line.
An Optical Carrier used to specify the speed of fiber optic networks with speeds of 622.08 Mbps.
An OC-12 circuit (622,000,000 bits per second) is bandwidth that was experimented with in the Gigabit Testbeds of the early 1990s. At the beginning of 1998 it is also the bandwidth of Sprintlink and MCI's backbones. By the end of 98, it should equal the speed of every major NSP's backbone.
622.08 Mbps can transport 12 ea. DS-3 336 ea. DS-1 8064 voice channels
Stands for Optical Carrier Level 12. OC-12 is a circuit that transmits 622 megabits per second.
Optical Carrier level 12. The second fastest optical transimssion rate in the SONET standard at 622Mbit/s.
A fiber optic connection that can handle 622Mbps, often used for the 622Mbps ATM protocol.
A Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) telecommunications specification for fiber-optic transmission at 622 megabits per second. See SONET and OC-N.
An optical connection with a transfer rate of 622 megabits. OC connections often form the transmission "backbone" of an Internet service.
Optical Carrier conforming to the SONET standard allowing speeds up to 622.08 Mbps
622.08 Mbps data service (also STS-12)
a fiber-optic Internet connection with a capacity of 622 Mbps.
Optical Carrier, Level Twelve. A fiber optic carrier system that transmits and receives at 622.08 Mbps.
