    SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is a standardized protocol for synchronous data transmission over optical fiber that provides faster and less expensive interconnection than traditional PDH equipment. SDH uses synchronous transport modules like STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64 to transfer multiple digital bit streams synchronously. In digital telephone transmission, synchronous means the bits from one call are carried within one transmission frame, unlike plesiochronous which requires extracting a call from multiple frames.

    SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)

    Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) are
    standardized protocols that transfer multiple digital bit streams synchronously over optical
    fiber using lasers or highly coherent light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
    SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is a standard technology for synchronous data transmission on
    optical media. It is the international equivalent of Synchronous Optical Network. Both technologies
    provide faster and less expensive network interconnection than traditional PDH (Plesiochronous
    Digital Hierarchy) equipment.

    In digital telephone transmission, "synchronous" means the bits from one call are carried within one
    transmission frame. "Plesiochronous" means "almost (but not) synchronous," or a call that must be
    extracted from more than one transmission frame.

    SDH uses the following Synchronous Transport Modules (STM) and rates: STM-1 (155 megabits per
    second), STM-4 (622 Mbps), STM-16 (2.5 gigabits per second), and STM-64 (10 Gbps).
