Terabits (Tbit) to Petabits (Pbit) 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.
Petabits
The petabit (Pbit) is a unit of digital information equal to 10¹⁵ bits. It is used to describe the aggregate capacity of large networks and data centre interconnects. Global internet traffic was estimated at several hundred exabits per month in 2022 — where one exabit equals 1,000 petabits. National telecommunications backbone networks and the largest internet exchange points are measured in petabits per second of total switching capacity.
