Conversion accuracy depends on source-specific definitions and documentation
-
Users must consult associated equipment or protocol materials for meaningful interpretation
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does terabit/second (SI def.) measure?
-
It measures data transfer speed based on the SI prefix tera, representing one trillion bits transmitted per second.
-
Is E.P.T.A. 3 (signal) a standard data transfer unit?
-
No, it is typically a proprietary or application-specific signal metric defined by particular equipment or protocols.
-
Why convert from terabit/second to E.P.T.A. 3 (signal)?
-
To align standard data rates with custom telemetry or diagnostic signal metrics used in embedded or legacy systems.
Key Terminology
-
Terabit/second (SI def.)
-
A unit measuring data transfer rate equal to one trillion bits transmitted each second using the decimal-based SI prefix tera.
-
E.P.T.A. 3 (signal)
-
A proprietary or custom signal metric used in specific equipment or protocols, not standardized for general use.
-
Binary-derived Tebibit (Ti)
-
A data measurement based on 2^40 bits, different from the decimal-based tera prefix.
