What does STM-64 (signal) represent?

STM-64 is a signal in the synchronous digital hierarchy with a line rate near 10 Gbit/s, used for telecommunications backbone networks.

Can I convert binary megabytes (MiB) using this tool?

This converter assumes decimal megabytes for conversion and does not adjust for binary based units.

Why is there a difference between MB/s and STM-64 rates?

MB/s generally indicates payload throughput, while STM-64 rates represent raw line capacity including overhead like framing and error correction.

What Is This Tool?

This online converter helps you transform data transfer rates measured in megabytes per second [MB/s] into STM-64 (signal) units. STM-64 represents a synchronous digital hierarchy signal with a line rate near 10 gigabits per second, commonly used in telecommunications backbone networks.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the data rate value in megabyte per second [MB/s].
Select megabyte per second as the input unit and STM-64 (signal) as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent STM-64 (signal) rate.

Key Features

Converts data transfer speeds from megabyte per second [MB/s] to STM-64 (signal).
Based on a fixed conversion factor aligning decimal megabyte rates to standard SDH signal capacities.
Offers quick calculations for networking and telecommunications planning.

Examples

100 MB/s converts to approximately 0.08427984 STM-64 (signal).
500 MB/s converts to approximately 0.4213992 STM-64 (signal).

Common Use Cases

Evaluating data throughput for storage device transfers such as HDDs and SSDs.
Comparing file copy or backup transfer speeds across networks.
Planning and analyzing capacity for high-speed telecommunications and fiber-optic links.
Interconnecting SDH and SONET equipment operating at around 10 Gbit/s.

Tips & Best Practices

Use decimal megabyte values for consistent conversion results.
Interpret MB/s rates as payload throughput and STM-64 rates as raw line capacity including overhead.
Verify conversion context aligns with telecommunications network planning needs.

Limitations

Conversion assumes decimal megabytes and does not factor in protocol overhead or efficiency.
MB/s represents data payload throughput while STM-64 reflects total line rate with framing and error correction.
Results provide theoretical equivalence rather than actual transmission performance.
