Kilobytes per second to Kilobits per second
1 kB/s = 8 kbit/s. Edit either value to convert instantly.
Conversion formula
kbit/s = kB/s × (8,000) × (0.001)1 kB/s = 8 kbit/s
kilobyte per second (kB/s)
kilobyte per second is a unit of data transfer rate: 1 kB/s = 8,000 bit/s. The byte has 8 bits; decimal prefixes use powers of 1,000 and binary prefixes use powers of 1024.
