What does STS192 (signal) represent?

STS192 (signal) is an electrical framing rate in the SONET system equal to 192 times the base STS-1 rate of 51.84 Mb/s, totaling about 9.95328 Gbit/s.

Why convert STS192 (signal) to megabit per second?

Converting helps translate high-speed SONET transport rates into common units used for specifying internet broadband and network bandwidth.

Are megabit per second speeds exact user data rates?

No, megabit per second measurements reflect raw data transfer rates and may differ from effective throughput due to network conditions and protocol overhead.
