Information About

Megabit




The megabit is a unit of Information storage, abbreviated '''Mbit''' or sometimes '''Mb'''.

1 megabit = 106 = 1,000,000 Bit s which is equal to 125 Kilobyte s or 125,000 Byte s.

The megabit is most commonly used when referring to data transfer rates in network speeds, e.g. a 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet connection. In this context, like elsewhere in Telecommunications , it always equals 106 bits.

A binary counterpart of megabit, useful for measuring RAM and ROM chip capacity, is Mebibit .
