Are you looking to upgrade your business’ bandwidth to an OC3, OC12 or OC48? This task can be intimidating and frustrating to tackle, even in the best of situations. Making the right choice for your business’ needs is challenging with so many variables to consider. To help you understand the differences between OC3 vs OC12 vs OC48 bandwidth choices, each is described below in terms of: Bandwidth Type, Speed & Description, Application, Advantages, Disadvantages and Cost. OC3 Circuit Speed & Description: An OC3 circuit is a network line with transmission speeds of up to 155.52 Mbps using fiber optics. Application: Large enterprises with significant bandwidth requirements or as an ISP backbone. Advantages: OC3 benefits include super fast… Read More…
Choosing between transformer-based or transformerless uninterruptible power supplies may not be a simple ‘either/or’ decision, particularly above 10kVA. Both technologies have their place in today’s power protection scenarios but the key differences between them are: physical size, efficiency, noise output and the levels of input harmonic distortion that they generate. Both uninterruptible power supply designs produce a tightly regulated source of uninterrupted power but they differ in the way they generate the dc voltage required by their inverters and their output stages. Transformer-based Uninterruptible Power Supplies: until the early 1990s, the only design of online uninterruptible power supply was transformer-based. Nowadays, the design is still available but generally in larger sizes for UPS from eight… Read More…
