What does modem (2400) measure?

It denotes a data transfer rate of 2400 bits per second, used historically for early dial-up modems and similar low-speed links.

How is megabyte/second (SI def.) defined?

It is a data transfer rate where one megabyte equals 1,000,000 bytes per second, based on the decimal SI standard.

Why convert modem (2400) to megabyte/second (SI def.)?

To express older or low-bandwidth data rates in modern standardized units for easier comparison with current digital system speeds.

Common Use Cases

Retro-computing and testing of legacy modem communication systems.
Comparing historic dial-up speeds with modern storage or network transfer rates.
Reporting and understanding low-bandwidth telemetry or remote-control data rates.
Expressing data throughput in engineering specs for backups or video streaming using SI decimal units.

Tips & Best Practices

Always specify the unit definition to avoid confusion between decimal megabyte and binary mebibyte rates.
Use this conversion for approximate comparisons, especially when dealing with very low speeds.
Consider the context of historic versus modern data rates when interpreting the converted values.
Double-check unit selection to ensure clarity in reports and analysis.

Limitations

Modem (2400) is not an SI unit but a descriptive rate class, so conversions are approximate.
Values converted from modem (2400) tend to be extremely small compared to megabyte/second, limiting practical use in high-speed contexts.
Confusion can arise if the difference between SI megabyte and binary mebibyte units is not clearly understood or stated.
