How to Convert Gigabits Per Second to Petabits Per Second
To convert gigabits per second to petabits per second, divide by 1,000,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. Check out our Petabits Per Second in Gigabits Per Second.
Gbps: A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking. Common uses include Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE. Related: Gbps to KB/s.
Pbps: A petabit per second is 1,000 terabits per second. Used for internet exchange points and submarine cable capacity. Typically used for Internet exchange points, submarine cables, global backbone networks, hyperscale interconnects. Learn more: Gibps to Pbps converter.
1 Gbps = 0.000001 Pbps — or equivalently, 1 Pbps = 1,000,000Gbps.
Gbps to Pbps Conversion Formula
// Convert Gbps to Pbps
Pbps = Gbps × 0.000001
// Reverse: Convert Pbps to Gbps
Gbps = Pbps × 1,000,000
Gbps to Pbps Conversion Examples
10 Gbps = 0.00001 Pbps
50 Gbps = 0.00005 Pbps
100 Gbps = 0.0001 Pbps
500 Gbps = 0.0005 Pbps
1,000 Gbps = 0.001 Pbps
What Is Gigabit Per Second (Gbps)?
