Converting from Gigabit per second (Gb/s) to Gibibit per second (Gib/s) | Data transfer

What is Gigabit per second (Gb/s)

Gigabit per second (Gb/s) is a unit of data transfer speed commonly used to measure how fast data can be transmitted over a network. It represents one billion bits transferred per second.

What is Gibibit per second (Gib/s)

Gibibit per second (Gib/s) is also a unit of data transfer speed but is based on a binary system. It represents 1,073,741,824 bits transferred per second, which is slightly larger than a Gigabit per second.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Gigabit per second (Gb/s) to Gibibit per second (Gib/s):

• Gib/s=Gb/s×1.073742

To convert from Gibibit per second (Gib/s) to Gigabit per second (Gb/s):

• Gb/s=Gib/s×0.9313226

Examples

1. Converting 11 Gb/s to Gib/s:

11 Gb/s=11×1.073742 Gib/s=10.24455 Gib/s

2. Converting 2 Gib/s to Gb/s:

2 Gib/s=2×0.9313226 Gb/s=2.147484 Gb/s

3. Converting 10 Gb/s to Gib/s:

10 Gb/s=10×1.073742 Gib/s=9.313226 Gib/s

This article provides a simple guide for converting between Gigabit per second (Gb/s) and Gibibit per second (Gib/s) in the context of data transfer speed measurement.
