What is STM-64 (signal)?

STM-64 (signal) is a Synchronous Digital Hierarchy line rate used in telecom networks with a bandwidth of approximately 9.95328 gigabits per second.

How does megabit/second (SI def.) differ from a mebibit?

Megabit/second uses the decimal prefix 'mega' denoting one million bits per second, while mebibit is a binary-based unit equal to 2^20 bits.

Why use this converter for STM-64 to megabit/second?

It helps translate specialized telecom line rates into common bandwidth units for network design, billing, and performance analysis.

Tips & Best Practices

Always use the SI decimal definition for megabit/second conversions to maintain accuracy.
Consider STM-64’s exact rate rather than approximating it as 10,000 megabit/second.
Use conversions to compare different telecommunications standards effectively.
Double-check units when specifying network equipment or service rates to avoid confusion.
Leverage the conversion for planning and billing by standardizing bandwidth units.

Limitations

STM-64’s rate is approximately 9.95328 Gbit/s, not exactly 10,000 megabit/second.
Megabit/second uses the decimal SI prefix meaning one million bits per second, not the binary mebibit.
This tool is focused on STM-64 to megabit/second (SI def.) conversions and doesn’t cover other units or binary-based data rates.
