Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (9600) represent?
-
Modem (9600) signifies a data transfer rate of 9,600 bits per second common in classic dial-up modems and older communication links.
-
Why convert modem (9600) to kilobit/second?
-
Converting helps standardize legacy data rates for compatibility with modern units and equipment.
-
Is the conversion exact?
-
No, the conversion is approximate because modem (9600) and kilobit/second units have different interpretations and overhead considerations.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (9600)
-
A data transfer rate measuring 9,600 bits per second, originally used to describe classic dial-up modems and simple serial communication links.
-
Kilobit/second [kb/s]
-
A unit of data rate equivalent to 1,000 bits per second, commonly used to denote low-speed network and telecommunication data throughput.
