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 Zettabits 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 Tbps Is Calculated
Both petabits per second and terabits per second are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 Pbps = 1,000 Tbps. This is the convention behind advertised link speeds and drive specifications.
| Unit | Standard | Prefix step | 1 unit equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petabit Per Second (Pbps) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1.000 × 10¹⁵ bps |
| Terabit Per Second (Tbps) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1,000,000,000,000 bps |
