Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, fiber-optic transmission that can transport digital signals with different capacities

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. An ITU-T standard for multiplexing and demultiplexing of optical signals that run over fiber optic infrastructure. SDH is classified based on its traffic carrying capacity into STM-1 (155 Mbps), STM-4 (622 Mbps), and so on. SDH is used outside North America (mainly in Europe and Asia). North American counterpart is called SONET. SDH provides transport for any kind of access networks. Also see multiplexing and SONET.

Synchronous Digital Hierachy

(Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) SDH has many advantages over existing transmission technologies including flexibility in managing the transmission, reconfiguration and control and switching at data rates to 622Mbit/s and beyond

SDH is a set of standards for optic data transmission systems. (Synchronous digital hierarchy) SDH makes it easier to use different manufacturer's equipment together, and also benefits the customers by minimizing the amount of equipment required for different telecommunication applications. SDH also improves operation security.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. A standard technology for optical fiber-based synchronous data transmission, running on copper cable. The international equivalent of SONET. See also PDH, SONET.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. Before SDH, networks were extremely rigid and creating a new link between two points was time consuming. It could take months to set up new services. In the late 1980s operators and suppliers standardized first on SONET (Synchronous Optical Network)and then SDH standards for optical transmission. By using Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADM) new signals can be added to or dropped from the network quickly and easily. The network can then be monitored centrally, adding to both flexibility and reliability. When a fault does occur, the traffic can be re-routed so quickly that the user does not even realise there was anything wrong.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. a method of digital transmission where the data is packed in containers which are synchronised in time enabling relatively simple multiplexing and de-multiplexing at the transmitting and receiving ends.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. Synchronous transmission and multiplexing system for telecommunications networks. It operates at speeds between 155 Mbit/s to 2.54 Gbit/s. SDH will be the future transmission system in the telecom network.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. A standard technology for synchronous data transmission using optical media as the physical transport for high speed long-haul networks. It is the international equivalent of Synchronous Optical Network (SONET). SDH uses the following Synchronous Transport Modules (STM) and rates: STM-1 (155 megabits per second), STM-4 (622 Mbps), STM-16 (2.5 gigabits per second), and STM-64 (10 Gbps).

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. Synchronic transmission and multiplex system for telecommunication networks. It operates at speeds of between 155 Mbits/s amd (so far) 2.54 Gbits/s. SDH will be the future transmission system in the telecommunications network and will gradually replace PDH.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy Standardized by the ITU, SDH is a family of digital carrier rates. SDH is the term used by the ITU to refer to SONET OC rates, as they are called in the United States. The basic SDH building block is a rate of 155.52 Mbps, called STM-1.

SDH is the European equivalent of SONET. They are not the same, but they are close enough that the hardware manufacturers can make equipment that conforms to both standards at the same time.

Short for ynchronous igital ierarchy, an international standard for synchronous data transmission over fiber optic cables. The North American equivalent of SDH is SONET. SDH defines a standard rate of transmission at 155.52 Mbps, which is referred to as STS-3 at the electrical level and STM-1 for SDH. STM-1 is equivalent to SONET's Optical Carrier (OC) levels -3.

Synchronous Digital Heirarchy. There are two main transmission rate standards in the world,CEPT (European) and North American (US). SDH is recommended by CDITT to establish a universal digital network standard for the coming of the ISDN age. Some of the advantages of SDH: Simplified multiplexing/demultiplexing; direct access to lower speed tributaries; easy growth to higher bit rates in step with evolution of transmission technology.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. A method used for multiplexing many circuits with a low bit rate onto fewer circuits with a higher bit rate, and vice-versa (de-multiplexing). Used primarily in the telecomms industry to carry telephony traffic. This network can also be used to carry IP traffic.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. SDH defines a number of "containers," each corresponding to an existing plesiochronous rate (1.5, 2, 6, 34, 45 and 140 Mbps). Each "container" has some control information known as "Path Overhead" (POH) added to it. The POH allows the network operator to achieve end-to-end path monitoring. Together the container and the path overhead form a "Virtual Container" (VC) in Europe or "Virtual Tributary" (VT) in North America.
