USB speeds vary by standard; this conversion is approximate for nominal rates
-
Direct practical data transfer equivalence cannot be assumed from this conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (110) represent in data transfer?
-
Modem (110) denotes a legacy modem speed of about 110 bits per second, used in early dial-up and teletype communications.
-
Why convert modem (110) to USB units?
-
This conversion helps translate legacy low-speed data rates into modern USB speeds to aid comparison, emulation, or documentation.
-
Is the conversion exact for all USB standards?
-
No, USB standards differ widely in speed; the conversion provides an approximate nominal data rate comparison.
Key Terminology
