Kibibits per second (Kibit/s)
Exabits per second (Ebit/s)

Conversion Formula

Ebit/s = Kibit/s × 1.024000000e-15

About Kibibits per second

Kibibit per second (Kibit/s) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bit/s (IEC 80000-13). The binary-precise counterpart to kbit/s for contexts with power-of-2 bus widths. FPGA serial transceivers are clocked at exact powers of 2; embedded UART baud rates sometimes use 1,024-baud increments. Contrasted with kbit/s (= 1,000 bit/s) in ITU/IEEE standards. 1 Kibit/s = 1,024 bit/s = 128 B/s.

About Exabits per second

Exabit per second (Ebit/s) = 10¹⁸ bit/s (SI). Theoretical: Shannon limit for a single-mode fibre over 50 THz optical bandwidth ≈ 100 Pbit/s - still ~10,000× below 1 Ebit/s. Reaching 1 Ebit/s would require ≈1 million parallel fibres each at 1 Pbit/s. Global internet backbone installed capacity in 2024 ≈ 5-10 Pbit/s. 1 Ebit/s = 10¹⁸ bit/s = 125 PB/s.
