    Connecting the synchronous optical cable

    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 plesiochr. Difference from PDHSDH differs from (PDH) in that the exact rates that are used to transport the data on SONET/SDH are tightly across the entire network, using. This. SONET and SDH often use different terms to describe identical features or functions. This can cause confusion and exaggerate their differences. With a few exceptions, SDH can be thought of as a superset of SONET. The basic unit of framing in SDH is a (Synchronous Transport Module, level 1), which operates at 155.520 (Mbit/s).
