What does 1 Firewire (IEEE-1394) equal in kilobyte per second (SI)?

1 Firewire (IEEE-1394) is equal to 50000 kilobyte per second using the SI definition.

Why choose kilobyte/second (SI def.) over binary units?

Kilobyte per second (SI def.) uses decimal prefixes for standardized measurement, which differs from binary units like kibibytes that use powers of 1024.

Can this conversion account for actual device speed fluctuations?

No, the conversion assumes a fixed rate and does not consider practical variations or protocol overheads.
