What does 1 GB/s represent in this conversion?

1 Gigabyte per second represents the transfer of one billion bytes of data every second in decimal SI usage, which is converted here to an equivalent number of T2 (signal) units.

What is T2 (signal) used for?

T2 (signal) is a legacy digital carrier level in the North American T-carrier system used historically for medium-capacity leased lines and trunking between telephone switches.

Why convert GB/s to T2 (signal)?

This conversion helps compare modern data transfer speeds with legacy telecommunication signals for network planning, equipment upgrades, or historical analysis.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms data transfer rates expressed in gigabytes per second (GB/s), a modern measurement of data throughput, into T2 (signal), which is a historic digital carrier level used in North American telecommunications systems. It helps bridge understanding between contemporary storage or network speeds and legacy telecommunication signals.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in gigabytes per second (GB/s) you want to convert.
Select the source unit as Gigabyte/second [GB/s].
Choose the target unit T2 (signal) from the unit list.
Click convert to get the equivalent rate expressed in T2 (signal).

Key Features

Converts data transfer rates from GB/s to T2 (signal) units accurately.
Supports comparison of modern high-speed data rates with historic telecommunication systems.
Easy to use, browser-based interface requiring no installation.

Examples

0.5 GB/s converts to approximately 680.44475538655 T2 (signal).
2 GB/s converts to about 2721.7790215462 T2 (signal).

Common Use Cases

Comparing modern storage device throughput or memory bandwidth rates with legacy telecom carrier signals.
Planning network upgrades or analyzing historical data rates relative to today’s technology.
Assessing legacy PBX trunk connections or leased lines in the context of modern data transfer speeds.

Tips & Best Practices

Clarify whether GB/s uses the decimal (10^9 bytes) or binary (2^30 bytes) convention when comparing rates.
Use this converter primarily for informative or planning purposes with legacy telecommunication systems.
Remember that actual telecommunications channels may have overheads not reflected in this direct unit conversion.

Limitations

T2 (signal) rates reflect an older technology with fixed, low bandwidth unsuitable for direct use with modern data speeds.
Conversion assumes consistent definitions of gigabyte without considering protocol inefficiencies or overhead.
This tool does not account for differences between decimal and binary gigabyte conventions automatically.

Key Terminology

Gigabyte per second (GB/s): A data transfer rate unit denoting the transfer of one gigabyte of data every second, using decimal bytes unless otherwise specified.
T2 (signal): A historic digital carrier level in the North American T-carrier system transmitting at about 6.312 megabits per second, used for medium-capacity leased lines.
T-carrier system: A telecommunications transmission system used historically in North America to multiplex several voice or data channels over a trunk line.

Quick Knowledge Check

What unit does GB/s measure?

Number of bits transferred per second

Amount of data transferred per second in gigabytes

Signal strength in telecommunications

What is the typical use of T2 (signal)?

Modern fiber-optic data transmission

Legacy medium-capacity leased telephone lines

Wireless data communication

Why should you clarify the gigabyte definition when converting?

Because gigabyte can refer to decimal or binary bytes

Because T2 only supports binary units

Because GB/s measures frequency
