plesiochronous
<communications> Nearly synchronised, a term describing a communication
system where transmitted signals have the same nominal digital rate but are
synchronised on different clocks.
According to ITU-T standards, corresponding signals are plesiochronous if their
significant instants occur at nominally the same rate, with any variation in
rate being constrained within specified limits.
