  2. Optical Carrier transmission rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Carrier...

    OC-48 is also used as a transmission speed for tributaries from OC-192 nodes in order to optimize card slot utilization where lower speed deployments are used. Slower cards that drop to OC-12, OC-3 or STS-1 speeds are more commonly found on OC-48 terminals, where use of these cards on an OC-192 terminal would not allow for full use of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_backbone

    Internet backbone. Each line is drawn between two nodes, representing two IP addresses. This is a small look at the backbone of the Internet. The Internet backbone is the principal data routes between large, strategically interconnected computer networks and core routers of the Internet. These data routes are hosted by commercial, government ...

  4. Optical transport network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transport_network

    An optical transport network (OTN) is a digital wrapper that encapsulates frames of data, to allow multiple data sources to be sent on the same channel. This creates an optical virtual private network for each client signal. ITU-T defines an optical transport network as a set of optical network elements (ONE) connected by optical fiber links ...

  5. AT&T Internet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Internet

    Website. www.att.com /internet /. AT&T Internet is an AT&T brand of broadband internet service. Previously, AT&T Internet was branded as U-verse Internet and bundled with U-verse TV, which was spun off into the newly independent DirecTV in 2021. AT&T Internet plans powered by fiber-optic cable use the AT&T Fiber brand.

  6. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. [1][2] The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [3] Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth, long distance, or immunity to ...

  7. Fibre Channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel

    Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed data transfer protocol providing in-order, lossless [1] delivery of raw block data. [2] Fibre Channel is primarily used to connect computer data storage to servers [3][4] in storage area networks (SAN) in commercial data centers. Fibre Channel networks form a switched fabric because the switches in a network ...

  8. Computer network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

    The equipment that ties together the departmental networks constitutes the network backbone. Another example of a backbone network is the Internet backbone, which is a massive, global system of fiber-optic cable and optical networking that carry the bulk of data between wide area networks (WANs), metro, regional, national and transoceanic networks.

  9. Multi-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber

    Multi-mode links can be used for data rates up to 800 Gbit/s. Multi-mode fiber has a fairly large core diameter that enables multiple light modes to be propagated and limits the maximum length of a transmission link because of modal dispersion. The standard G.651.1 defines the most widely used forms of multi-mode optical fiber.
