OC3 is a SONET optical carrier standard running at about 155 Mbps. An OC3 link can transport up to 3 separate DS3 services. What is Fractional DS3 Service? Fractional DS3, as the name implies, is a fraction of the full DS3 bandwidth of 45 Mbps. Companies order fractional DS3 when they don't need or want to pay for the full bandwidth offered by DS3. Even with fractional DS3, you still need the full coaxial or optical hardware support for 45 Mbps signaling. At low fractional requirements, bonded T1 lines offer a more cost effective solution.
