Terabits (Tbit) to Exabytes (EB) Conversion
Terabits
The terabit (Tbit) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000,000 bits (10¹² bits). It is used to express the capacity of high-speed backbone network links and submarine cables: major undersea cables connecting continents operate at capacities measured in terabits per second (Tbps). One terabit per second equals 125 gigabytes per second — the scale of internet exchange points and national backbone infrastructure.
Exabytes
The exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10¹⁸ bytes (1,000 petabytes). It represents the scale of total global data creation and consumption. According to IDC estimates, the global datasphere — the total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed — surpassed 100 zettabytes (100,000 exabytes) per year in the early 2020s. The exabyte is primarily a unit of planning and forecasting at the level of cloud providers and national data infrastructure.
