What does E.P.T.A. 1 (signal) represent?

It is a vendor- or protocol-specific unit counting signaling or control events rather than a fixed amount of data.

OC24 is an Optical Carrier level 24 rate in SONET networks, equivalent to about 1.244 Gbit/s of optical transport capacity.

Is this conversion exact?

No, converting E.P.T.A. 1 (signal) to OC24 is an approximation used to relate signaling counts to optical transport capacity.
