A fiber optic line capable of 2400 megabits per second (2,400,000K).
(Optical Carrier level 48) (STS-48 or STM-16) 2488.32Mbps SONET.
Optical Carrier – 48. A data circuit that operates over a fiber optic network and can move data at a rate of about 2.4 gigabits/second, about 50,000 times faster than a modem connection.
Optical Carrier - 48; SONET Carrier 2488.32 Mb/s
An OC-48 circuit (2,400,000,000 bits or 2.4 gigabits per-second) is the typical speed for many aggregated telephone voice circuits on inter city fiber optic lines. Before the end of the decade most NSPs should be operating at OC-48 speeds. A few are expected to implement OC-48 before the end of 1998.
Stands for Optical Carrier Level 48. OC-48 is a circuit that transmits 2.488 gigabits per second.
Optical Carrier level 48. The fastest optical transmission rate in the SONET standard at 1.5Gbits/s.
A fiber optic connection that can handle 2.488Gbps connection speeds.
A Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) specification for fiber-optic transmission at an approximate rate of 2.5 gigabits per second. See SONET and OC-N.
Optical Carrier conforming to the SONET standard allowing speeds up to 2.488 Gbps
2.488 Gbps data service (also STS-48)
2.488 Gbps, OC-48 connections are typically used by high speed ISPs and web hosts, and because they link directly to an internet backbone, are considered extremely reliable
