Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (bit per second (bps)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 OC12 = 6.2208 × 10⁸ bit per second (bps)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 gigabyte/second = 8.589935 × 10⁹ bit per second (bps)

Step-by-step substitution for Oc12 → Gigabyte Per Second:V(gigabyte/second) = V(OC12) × ( 6.2208 × 10⁸ / 8.589935 × 10⁹ ) = V(OC12) × 0.0724196
