What does STS192 (signal) represent?

STS192 is an electrical framing rate in SONET representing 192 times STS-1 at 51.84 Mb/s, equating to 9.95328 Gbit/s.

Why use terabit/second (SI def.) for data transfer rates?

Terabit/second (SI) standardizes large data rate measurement by representing 10^12 bits transmitted each second, aiding clear communication of network capacity.

Can this conversion be used for optical signals?

This conversion specifically applies to electrical SONET signals and may not precisely represent optical or packet-based technologies.
