Petabit Per Second (Pbps)
A petabit per second is 1,000 terabits per second. Used for internet exchange points and submarine cable capacity.

To convert petabits per second to bytes per second, divide by 8.000000e-15 (or multiply by 125,000,000,000,000). This conversion accounts for the 8:1 relationship between bits and bytes—network speeds are measured in bits, while file sizes use bytes.
Pbps is a bit-based bandwidth commonly used for Internet exchange points, submarine cables, global backbone networks, hyperscale interconnects. When you see your ISP advertise speeds in Pbps, this is the raw network bandwidth.
B/s is what you actually experience when downloading files. Your browser, torrent client, or download manager shows speeds in B/s because that's how fast data is being written to your storage. Related: Petabits Per Second to Exabits Per Second.
1 Pbps = 125,000,000,000,000 B/s — which means there are 125,000,000,000,000bytes per second in every petabit per second.
Pbps to B/s transfer rate: 1 petabit per second equals 125,000,000,000,000bytes per second — the standard bandwidth conversion rate used by this data transfer calculator.

Pbps to B/s Conversion Formula
Here's the exact Pbps to B/s formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 125,000,000,000,000 to go from petabits per second to bytes per second, or by 8.000000e-15 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same rate conversion.
// Convert Pbps to B/s
B/s = Pbps × 125,000,000,000,000
// Reverse: Convert B/s to Pbps
Pbps = B/s × 8.000000e-15

Most data transfer rate units step by powers of ten: moving up the scale (bps → Kbps → Mbps → Gbps and beyond) means multiply by 1000, moving down means divide by 1000 — usually just a matter of shifting the decimal point. What's actually being counted underneath is bits: the binary digits, 0s and 1s, that make up every network signal.
What Is Petabit Per Second (Pbps)? Definition and Uses
A petabit per second is 1,000 terabits per second. Used for internet exchange points and submarine cable capacity.
The petabit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).
Common uses: Internet exchange points, submarine cables, global backbone networks, hyperscale interconnects See also: Petabits Per Second to Terabits Per Second.
1 Pbps = 1 × 10¹⁵ bits per second .
The petabit per second can be abbreviated as Pbps; for example, 1 petabit per second can be written as 1 Pbps.
Don't confuse Pbps with PB/s (Petabyte Per Second) — capitalization matters here. Pbps measures bits, PB/s measures bytes, and since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 Pbps works out to just 0.125 PB/s using the same numeral.

SI Decimal Prefixes: How Pbps to B/s Is Calculated
Both petabits per second and bytes per second are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 Pbps = 125,000,000,000,000 B/s. This is the convention behind advertised link speeds and drive specifications. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8.
| Unit | Standard | Prefix step | 1 unit equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petabit Per Second (Pbps) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1.000 × 10¹⁵ bps |
| Byte Per Second (B/s) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8 bps |
FAQs: Petabit Per Second to Byte Per Second Conversion
6 questions Quick answers on converting petabits per second to bytes per second, using the same factors as the converter above.
-
How many bytes per second are in 1 petabit per second?
1 Pbps = 125,000,000,000,000 B/s
1 Petabit Per Second (Pbps) equals 125,000,000,000,000 Bytes Per Second.
-
How many petabits per second are in 1 byte per second?
1 Byte Per Second (B/s) equals 8.000000e-15 Petabits Per Second.
-
How do I convert petabits per second to bytes per second?
Pbps × 125,000,000,000,000 = B/s
Multiply the petabit per second value by 125,000,000,000,000 to get bytes per second. For example, 10 Pbps = 1.250000000000e+15 B/s. To convert back (vice versa), multiply bytes per second by 8.000000e-15.
-
What is the difference between petabits per second and bytes per second?
Pbps measures network bandwidth in bits per second, while B/s measures actual transfer throughput in bytes per second. Divide bits by 8 to get bytes.
-
Does Pbps to B/s use SI decimal or binary prefixes?
Base 10 (SI): 1,000 per step
Both petabits per second and bytes per second are SI decimal (base 10) units, so each prefix step is exactly 1,000, giving 1 Pbps = 125,000,000,000,000 B/s. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8. The binary (IEC) versions count in base 2 steps of 1,024 instead.
-
What is Petabit Per Second (Pbps) commonly used for?
Common uses of the petabit per second (Pbps) include: Internet exchange points, submarine cables, global backbone networks, hyperscale interconnects.
