What Is OCx?
Optical carrier circuits are provisioned via fiber networks and provide carrier-grade throughput speeds when terminated into a carrier network for bandwidth transit.
Since OCx service is all optical fiber, it ties into a carrier’s SONET infrastructure for completely redundant, self-healing delivery.
OCx level pipes offer various flavors. Fractional, Burstable and Full OCX circuits are available from most Tier 1 NSPs. With ‘X’ being the variable, there are several forms of Optical Carrier circuits.
