An OC12 is the equivalent of 4 OC3's or 12 DS3's. A DS3 Breaks down to 28 T1's. Therefore there are 336 T1's on an OC3.
If you go one step further there are 672 DS0's on a DS3 or 8064 DS0's on an OC12. a DS0 is a 64k Channel equal to a single POTS line.

The capacity of an OC12 circuit is 622.08 Mbps while the DS1 line is a mere 1.544 Mbps. Having an OC12 is the equivalent of having 336 of them. There is a main difference though with these bandwidths, especially the reliability being an OC12 is far more reliable with the SONET architecture.
DS3 is 44.7 Mbps and a T1 is 1.55 Mbps. So 1 DS3 = 28 T1s http://www.dslbroker.com/ds3.html
T1 stand for how fast your Internet connection is going to be. T1 is the fastest of all, this would be a very high speed internet connection ( usually using fiber optics). The term T1 refers to the encoding.
A T1 Cable is the same as an Straighat Through Ethernet cable. Pins used for a T1 are 1,2,4,5 Pins used for Ethernet are 1,2,3,6 www.intelletrace.com
Average price in a metro area T1 is $325 to $400 www.intelletrace.com
When used as a Private Line or MPLS, this is as secure as your lan. If you connect the T1 to the internet, it is not secure. www.intelletrace.com
This answer can go in many differnet DIrections. 600 Pair Telephone Cable is equivelant to: 600 POTS ( Plane Old Telephone Service) 300 T1's (T1 = 1.5 MBPS or 23 PRI trunks or (6900 channels) OC 12 is delivered on 1 pair of Single Mode Fiber generally SC Connectors. OC12 = 622 Mbps OC12 = 12 DS3 OC12 = 336 T1's or PRI circuits, or 7,728 Voice Channels)
An OC12 is equal to 4 OC3 bandwidth connections.
There are 622 megabytes in an OC12 circuit. These megabytes are transferred per second at that rate. OC12 is a SONET standard product.
An OC768 circuit is equivalent to having 64 OC12 circuits. The OC768 runs at 39.812 Gbps whereas the OC12 circuit runs at 622.08 Mbps. The OC768 bandwidth is extremely rare and expensive.
There are 24 T1's in a T1. www.intelletrace.com
The base rate of an OC-3 would be 155Mbps. www.intelletrace.com
