Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (bit per second (bps)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 OC3 = 1.5552 × 10⁸ bit per second (bps)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 ethernet (fast) = 1 × 10⁸ bit per second (bps)

Step-by-step substitution for Oc3 → Ethernet Fast:V(ethernet (fast)) = V(OC3) × ( 1.5552 × 10⁸ / 1 × 10⁸ ) = V(OC3) × 1.5552

Mathematical FormulaValue in Ethernet Fast = Value in Oc3 × 1.5552Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

For an engineering input of 15 OC3, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 23.328 ethernet (fast). At larger operational scale, 240 Oc3 corresponds to 373.248 ethernet (fast).

Inverse check: 1 ethernet (fast) = 0.643004 OC3.
