A Fractional T-1 is a full-blown, two-pair T-1 data connection that has been fractionalized, or set up so that it offers data throughput only a fraction of standard 1.54Mbps T-1 speeds. Data service companies offer them in a range of speeds (128, 254, 382, 512, and 764Kbps), and they cost less than full T-1. Fractional and full-blown T-1 lines all use the same CSU/DSU line driver equipment. That means that fractional T-1 user can increase or decrease the speed of their data connection to match demand without changing their data communications equipment.
Refers to a data transmission speed between 56 Kbps and 1.54 Mbps. Channels are typically 64k in size.
FT-1 for fractional T-1 refers to any data transmission rate between 56 Kbps and 1.544 Mbps. It is typically provided by a carrier in lieu of a full T-1 connection and is a point-to point arrangement. A specialized multiplexer is used by the customer to channelize the carrier's signals.
FT or fraction T-1 refers to any data transmission rate between 56 kbps and 1.544 mbps. It is typically pro-vided by a carrier in lieu of a full T-1 connection and is a point-to-point arrangement. A specialised multi-plexer is used by the customer to channelise the carrier's signals.
Refers to an arrangement in which two to six channels of a T-1 are leased, with each channel providing 64 Kbps of bandwidth.
Any data transmission rate between 56 Kbps and 1.54 Mbps (which is a full T-1).
A service that uses a portion of a 24 channel DS-1 circuit. It allows 64 Kbps increments from two-channel 128 Kbps through all 24 channels at 1.5 Mbps.
A WAN communications service that provides the user with some portion of a T1 circuit which has been divided into 24 separate 64 Kb channels. Fractional E-1 is in Europe.
A FractionalT-1 is a digital transmission service that provides a customer with multiple 64 kbps channels but less than the full 24 channels offered by a T-1 channel.
One or more channels of a T-1 service. A full T-1 carrier contains 24 channels; each provides 64 Kbps. Most phone companies, however, also sell fractional T-1 lines, that provide less bandwidth but are also less expensive. Typically, fractional T-1 lines are sold in increments of 56 Kbps (the extra 8 Kbps per channel is used for data management).
A full T-1 line consists of 24 64Kbps channels. It is possible to purchase only a portion of a T-1 line, depending on resource needs; hence the term fractional T-1.
Data transmission rate between 56 Kbps and 1.54 Mbps (which is the full T-1 rate). Fractional T-1 is simply a digital, dedicated line that is not as fast or expensive as a T-1 line.
A service that provides less than full T1 capacity. Increments of 64 Kbps are provided. Close
Any data transmission rate between 56Kbps and 1.54 Mbps (which is the full T-1 rate).
