For what its worth:

  ((600 * megabit) / second) * (1 * day) = 51.84 terabits

  (5 * petabyte) / (51.84 * terabit) = approx. 771.60494

OC-12 would transfer 5 petabytes in approximately 771.60494 days if
allowed 0 downtime and full speed between locations.

Sigh.. I tried my hardest to make qalc understand that I have a single
OC-12 and I want to transfer 5 Petabytes so how long would that take
in one line.. but I couldn't figure out how to have it return days. :)
