What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer rates from ISDN (dual channel), a traditional telecommunication descriptor, to gigabit/second (SI definition), a modern networking unit measuring data throughput in billions of bits per second.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ISDN (dual channel) units you want to convert.

Key Features
-
Converts ISDN (dual channel) rates to gigabit/second (SI definition).
-
Supports comparison between legacy and modern data transfer units.
-
Simple and user-friendly interface suitable for networking professionals and enthusiasts.
-
Browser-based tool with no installation required.
Examples
-
5 ISDN (dual channel) equals 0.00064 gigabit/second (SI def.).
-
10 ISDN (dual channel) equals 0.00128 gigabit/second (SI def.).
Common Use Cases
-
Compare traditional ISDN data rates with high-speed gigabit networks.
-
Plan and upgrade network infrastructure integrating legacy ISDN links with gigabit systems.
-
Standardize reporting of data transfer rates across diverse telecommunication technologies.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand the difference between ISDN (dual channel) service-level rates and standard SI units.
-
Use conversions to support network capacity planning and performance analysis.
-
Be mindful that ISDN’s bandwidth is substantially lower than gigabit-speed networks.
Limitations
-
ISDN (dual channel) reflects a fixed throughput of about 128 kbit/s, much lower than gigabit scales.
-
Conversion results in very small gigabit values due to ISDN’s limited bandwidth.
-
Real-world throughput can vary due to channel bonding overhead and differing measurement standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is ISDN (dual channel)?
-
ISDN (dual channel) is a telecommunication data rate descriptor using two 64 kbit/s B channels in parallel to provide about 128 kbit/s throughput.
-
How is gigabit/second (SI def.) defined?
-
Gigabit per second (SI definition) is a data rate of 1,000,000,000 bits per second, commonly used to express network link speeds.
-
Why convert ISDN (dual channel) to gigabit/second?
-
Conversion allows comparison and integration of legacy ISDN rates with modern network standards for planning and analysis.
