Transmux
TRANSMUX (Transcode-Multiplexing) is a signaling format change in telecommunications signaling between synchronous optical network signals SONET and asynchronous DS3 signals. A DS3 signal is multiplexed from 28 individual DS1 signals in a bit-interleaved fashion, with framing and overhead at determined intervals. SONET differs from this approach by using a byte-interleaved, synchronous, multiplexing technique with several variations on payload types. Usage SONET payload can carry multiplexed lower rate streams (DS1, E1, DS3, etc.) as well as any octet-based format such as TCP/IP, ATM, frame relay, Ethernet, etc. Variations If cross-connect capability is to be maintained at the VT1.5 level, then the individual DS1 signals are extracted from a parent DS3 or electrical T1, and then transmuted individually into each VT1.5. If a complete DS3 signal is to be delivered to a SONET drop, then the entire DS3 is transmuted intact into an STS container and no subsequent cross-connect capa ...

SONET
Synchronous optical networking (SONET) and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) are standardized protocols that transfer multiple digital bit streams synchronously over optical fiber using lasers or highly coherent light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs). At low transmission rates data can also be transferred via an electrical interface. The method was developed to replace the plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) system for transporting large amounts of telephone calls and data traffic over the same fiber without the problems of synchronization. SONET and SDH, which are essentially the same, were originally designed to transport circuit mode communications (e.g., DS1, DS3) from a variety of different sources, but they were primarily designed to support real-time, uncompressed, circuit-switched voice encoded in PCM format. The primary difficulty in doing this prior to SONET/SDH was that the synchronization sources of these various circuits were different. This meant that each ...

Digital Signal 3
A Digital Signal 3 (DS3) is a digital signal level 3 T-carrier. It may also be referred to as a T3 line. *The data rate for this type of signal is 44.736 Mbit/s (45 Mb). *DS3 uses 75ohm coaxial cable and BNC connectors. *This level of carrier can transport 28 DS1 level signals within its payload. *This level of carrier can transport 672 DS0 level channels within its payload. *Such circuits are the usual kind between telephony carriers, both wired and wireless, and typically by OC1 optical connections. Cabling DS3 interconnect cables must be made with true 75-ohm coaxial cable and connectors. Cables or connectors which are 50 ohms or which significantly deviate from 75 ohms will result in signal reflections which will lower the performance of the connection, possibly to the point of not working. GR-139-CORE ''Generic Requirements for Central Office Coaxial Cable'', defines type 734 and 735 cables for this application. Due to losses, there are differing distance limitations for ...

Digital Signal 1
Digital Signal 1 (DS1, sometimes DS-1) is a T-carrier signaling scheme devised by Bell Labs. DS1 is the primary digital telephone standard used in the United States, Canada and Japan and is able to transmit up to 24 multiplexed voice and data calls over telephone lines. E-carrier is used in place of T-carrier outside the United States, Canada, Japan, and South Korea. DS1 is the logical bit pattern used over a physical T1 line; in practice, the terms ''DS1'' and ''T1'' are often used interchangeably. Overview T1 refers to the primary digital telephone carrier system used in North America. T1 is one line type of the PCM T-carrier hierarchy. T1 describes the cabling, signal type, and signal regeneration requirements of the carrier system. The signal transmitted on a T1 line, referred to as the DS1 signal, consists of serial bits transmitted at the rate of 1.544 Mbit/s. The type of line code used is called Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI). Digital Signal Designation is the classifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
