What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to convert data transfer rates from Ethernet (fast), a local-area networking standard at 100 Mbps, to Modem (14.4k), an older dial-up modem speed of 14.4 kbps. It helps compare modern network speeds with legacy communication rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in Ethernet (fast) units you want to convert.
-
Select Modem (14.4k) as the target unit for conversion.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent speed in Modem (14.4k).
Key Features
-
Supports conversion between Ethernet (fast) and Modem (14.4k) data rates.
-
Based on nominal maximum transfer speeds provided by IEEE and ITU-T standards.
-
Useful for comparisons between local area network speeds and dial-up modem rates.
-
Simple and user-friendly interface optimized for quick conversions.
Examples
-
1 Ethernet (fast) equals approximately 6944.44 Modem (14.4k).
-
0.5 Ethernet (fast) equals approximately 3472.22 Modem (14.4k).
Common Use Cases
-
Understanding the speed difference between modern Ethernet networks and legacy dial-up modems.
-
Assessing bandwidth requirements when upgrading or maintaining older communications systems.
-
Educational purposes for historical data transfer technology comparisons.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool to get a general sense of speed differences rather than precise real-world performance.
-
Remember that actual speeds may vary due to network conditions and hardware limitations.
-
Combine this conversion with knowledge of your infrastructure to plan for technology upgrades.
Limitations
-
The tool uses nominal maximum speeds and does not reflect real-world throughput variations.
-
Modem (14.4k) speeds are significantly slower and mostly outdated for current networking needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 Ethernet (fast) equal in Modem (14.4k)?
-
1 Ethernet (fast) corresponds to about 6944.44 Modem (14.4k) units, reflecting the difference in nominal maximum data rates.
-
Why convert from Ethernet (fast) to Modem (14.4k)?
-
This conversion helps compare modern networking speeds to legacy dial-up speeds for understanding bandwidth differences or planning migrations.

Key Terminology
-
Ethernet (fast)
-
A family of IEEE 802.3 standards providing 100 megabits per second data rate over copper or fiber for local-area networks.
-
Modem (14.4k)
-
A dial-up modem that operates at a maximum of 14.4 kilobits per second using analog telephone lines.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted, measured in bits per second for networking technologies.
