OC-12

An OC-12 is a high-capacity fiber-optic network connection used by internet providers and large organizations. It transmits data very quickly—up to roughly 622 megabits per second—by sending light pulses through fiber-optic cables. OC-12 is part of the Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) standards and is suitable for supporting large amounts of data, such as internet traffic, voice, and video across cities or between data centers. Essentially, it’s a reliable, high-speed link that ensures fast data transfer over long distances, enabling seamless connectivity for businesses and service providers.
