A teracycle was a unit of measure for rotating frequencies.

When the MACOs aboard Enterprise NX-01 were having difficulty battling the invading Sphere-Builders, Doctor Phlox explained to Corporal Kelly to modulate his weapons to a rotating frequency of 32.6 teracycles when firing at aliens; a number he was able to determine thanks to his previous studies conducted on their alien physiology. (ENT: "Zero Hour")

According to the terminology used in this undefined unit, the unit prefix tera-, in the metric system, means multiplication by 1012, or 1 trillion (cycles).
