<p>The <b>octet</b> is a <a href="Units_of_information" title="Units of information">unit of digital information</a> in <a href="Computing" title="Computing">computing</a> and <a href="Telecommunication" class="mw-redirect" title="Telecommunication">telecommunications</a> that consists of eight <a href="Bit" title="Bit">bits</a>. The term is often used when the term <i><a href="Byte" title="Byte">byte</a></i> might be <a href="Ambiguity" title="Ambiguity">ambiguous</a>, as the byte has historically been used for storage units of a variety of sizes.

</p><p>The term <i>octad(e)</i> for eight bits is no longer common.<sup id="cite_ref-Philips_1971_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Philips_1971-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Williams_1969_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Williams_1969-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Definition">Definition</h2></div>

<p>The international standard <a href="International_Electrotechnical_Commission" title="International Electrotechnical Commission">IEC</a> 60027-2, chapter 3.8.2, states that a byte is an octet of bits. However, the unit <a href="Byte" title="Byte">byte</a> has historically been <a href="Platform_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Platform (computing)">platform</a>-dependent and has represented various storage sizes in the <a href="History_of_computing" title="History of computing">history of computing</a>. Due to the influence of several major <a href="Computer_architecture" title="Computer architecture">computer architectures</a> and product lines, the byte became overwhelmingly associated with eight bits. This meaning of <i>byte</i> is codified in such standards as <a href="ISO/IEC_80000-13" class="mw-redirect" title="ISO/IEC 80000-13">ISO/IEC 80000-13</a>. While <i>byte</i> and <i>octet</i> are often used synonymously, those working with certain <a href="Legacy_system" title="Legacy system">legacy systems</a> are careful to avoid ambiguity.

</p><p>Octets can be represented using number systems of varying bases such as the <a href="Hexadecimal" title="Hexadecimal">hexadecimal</a>, <a href="Decimal" title="Decimal">decimal</a>, or <a href="Octal" title="Octal">octal</a> <a href="Number_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Number system">number systems</a>. The binary value of all eight bits set (or activated) is <span class="nowrap">11111111<span style="vertical-align:sub; font-size:smaller; line-height:normal;">2</span></span>, equal to the hexadecimal value <span class="nowrap">FF<span style="vertical-align:sub; font-size:smaller; line-height:normal;">16</span></span>, the decimal value <span class="nowrap">255<span style="vertical-align:sub; font-size:smaller; line-height:normal;">10</span></span>, and the octal value <span class="nowrap">377<span style="vertical-align:sub; font-size:smaller; line-height:normal;">8</span></span>. One octet can be used to represent decimal values ranging from 0 to 255.

</p><p>The term <i>octet</i> (symbol: o<sup id="cite_ref-NB_Postfix-o_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NB_Postfix-o-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>nb 1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) is often used when the use of <i>byte</i> might be ambiguous. It is frequently used in the <a href="Request_for_Comments" title="Request for Comments">Request for Comments</a> (RFC) publications of the <a href="Internet_Engineering_Task_Force" title="Internet Engineering Task Force">Internet Engineering Task Force</a> to describe storage sizes of <a href="Communication_protocol" title="Communication protocol">network protocol</a> parameters.

Especially when we started to think about word processing, which would require both upper and lower case. […] I even made a proposal (in view of <a href="IBM_Stretch" class="mw-redirect" title="IBM Stretch">STRETCH</a>, the very first computer I know of with an 8-bit byte) that would extend the number of <a href="Punch_card" class="mw-redirect" title="Punch card">punch card</a> character codes to 256 […]. So some folks started thinking about 7-bit characters, but this was ridiculous. With IBM's STRETCH computer as background, handling 64-character words divisible into groups of 8 (I designed the character set for it, under the guidance of Dr. <a href="Werner_Buchholz" title="Werner Buchholz">Werner Buchholz</a>, the man who DID coin the term "<a href="Byte" title="Byte">byte</a>" for an 8-bit grouping). […] It seemed reasonable to make a universal 8-bit character set, handling up to 256. In those days my mantra was "powers of 2 are magic". And so the group I headed developed and justified such a proposal […] The <a href="IBM_System_360" class="mw-redirect" title="IBM System 360">IBM 360</a> used 8-bit characters, although not ASCII directly. Thus Buchholz's "byte" caught on everywhere. I myself did not like the name for many reasons. The design had 8 bits moving around in parallel. But then came a new IBM part, with 9 bits for self-checking, both inside the CPU and in the <a href="Tape_drive" title="Tape drive">tape drives</a>. I exposed this 9-bit byte to the press in 1973. But long before that, when I headed software operations for <a href="Cie._Bull" class="mw-redirect" title="Cie. Bull">Cie. Bull</a> in France in 1965-66, I insisted that "byte" be deprecated in favor of "octet". […]</q></cite></span>
