Data Transfer Rate Converter
Convert data transfer rates between bit/s, Mbps, MB/s and common interface standards. Note 8 bits = 1 byte, so 100 Mbps ≈ 12.5 MB/s.

Frequently asked questions
What units does this data transfer rate converter support?
It supports 16 units: Bit/second (bit/s), Kilobit/second (kbit/s), Megabit/second (Mbit/s), Gigabit/second (Gbit/s), Byte/second (B/s), Kilobyte/second (kB/s), Megabyte/second (MB/s), Gigabyte/second (GB/s), T1 Line (T1), Ethernet (10BASE-T) (10MbE), Fast Ethernet (100MbE), Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), USB 2.0 (high speed) (USB2), USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) (USB3), 56k Modem (56k), OC-1 (OC-1).
What is the base unit of data transfer rate?
The SI reference unit is the bit/second (bit/s). Every conversion is computed by converting the input to the base unit, then from the base unit to the target unit, so chained precision is preserved.
Is this converter accurate?
Yes. Conversion factors use exact legal definitions where they exist (for example 1 in = 25.4 mm exactly) and CODATA/ISO constants otherwise. Results are shown to up to 10 significant figures.
