Editing Digital Signal Designation (section)

{{Refimprove|date=July 2008}}

'''Digital Signal Designation''' is the classification of digital bit rates in the [[digital multiplex hierarchy]] used in transport of signals from one location to another in [[telecommunication]]s.

The DS technically refers to the rate and format of the signal, while the T designation refers to the equipment providing the signals. In practice, "DS" and "T" are used synonymously; for example, DS1 and T1, DS3 and T3. <ref>{{Cite web |title=ds1 - CLC Definition |url=https://www.computerlanguage.com/results.php?definition=ds1 |access-date=2022-10-12 |website=www.computerlanguage.com}}</ref>
