What does ISDN (dual channel) represent?

ISDN (dual channel) denotes using both 64 kbit/s B channels in parallel within an ISDN Basic Rate Interface to provide a combined data rate around 128 kbit/s.

What is STS1 (signal) used for?

STS1 (signal) is the fundamental SONET electrical/frame unit with a line rate of 51.84 Mbps, used as a transport container for synchronous optical networking.

Can this conversion be used for physical measurements?

No, the conversion reflects a data transfer rate comparison rather than a direct physical unit conversion.
