Detailed/Technical DS3-T3 Definition[edit]

I have added a link to a website that provides detailed technical information about T3. This link was apparently in an earlier version of this article and removed for unstated reasons. Since it comes from a reliable source and provides useful information, it is an appropriate link. If this link violates Wikipedia policy, feel free to remove it with a description of what policy it violates. Thanks. (NB - I didn't realize that my login had somehow timed out, so my edit is recorded by IP address on the history page. I just realized that when I was adding the text here. Mea culpa.)

Requesting a perhaps a link and any new information on transmux function of DS3 for mapping and demapping to SONET carriers. Here it the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmux Burningclod 21:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Megabits?[edit]

44,736 Mbit/s? Shouldn't that be kbit/s? Or was this intended to be (to my USian eyes) 44.736?

44 megabits[edit]

It has to be about 44 megabits because the next line of the article claims you can split it into 28 T1 lines. A T1 is about 1.5 megabit and 28*1.57=44.

I don't know which is ISO compliant, English language decimal point or European decimal comma. If I had to bet, I'd say comma simply because the French (rather like Microsoft) have long since figured out that if you get in first and do a bang up job of writing standards then you get to dictate terms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.9.16.230 (talk) 09:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Too much jargon[edit]

Guys, this article made me none the wiser about the basics of T3 communication. Please dilute the jargon to make it comprehensible to average guys like me with an admittedly low IQ(!). Thank you and hoping there's some change in the tenor of the artijhyyu hiliohijhihihiljo;cle. dirty but clean (talk) 14:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I have no idea what this is used for. The article mentions T3, I know that T1's were used for internet connectivity, is that what DS3 is for, or is it telephony data? Sephiroth storm (talk) 08:45, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Long ago, I did tech support for an ISP. One of the things I learned there is that in layman's terms, a T3 line can be thought of as a buffed up T1 line and that both of them are used for high speed data transfer. When you get into the technicalities, of course, that's not quite right, but it's close enough for those of us who don't need to get into the details. I doubt that there's any citations for this, so it probably can't get into the article, but I hope this helps. JDZeff (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:42, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is wrong[edit]

This article is an instruction manual, not an encyclopedic explanation. The only paragraph on the page simply warns you of how to properly set one up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.76.249 (talk) 10:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

204.246.239.163 (talk) 12:57, 31 March 2009 (UTC) i am a trainee at km2 st.lucia and most of the things that we learn here are about data communication and the different fiber optic lines does anyone have any advice for me lovely butterfle st.lucia.[reply]
