What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate data transfer rates from ISDN (dual channel), a telecommunication bandwidth descriptor, into SCSI (Fast Ultra), a data interface signaling mode. It helps bridge the understanding between network-based data throughput and device-to-host storage performance.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ISDN (dual channel) units you want to convert
-
Select ISDN (dual channel) as the source unit and SCSI (Fast Ultra) as the target unit
-

Examples
-
10 ISDN (dual channel) equals 0.008 SCSI (Fast Ultra)
-
100 ISDN (dual channel) equals 0.08 SCSI (Fast Ultra)
Common Use Cases
-
Small-office or home internet speed comparison using bonded ISDN channels
-
Evaluating remote LAN or backup link throughput against storage device rates
-
Assessing data transfer capabilities when mixing telecommunications and IT hardware
-
Benchmarking network data speeds with server hard-drive or backup tape transfer rates
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you understand the difference between service-level bandwidth and signaling mode throughput
-
Use conversions as approximate references rather than exact measurements
-
Leverage example calculations to validate your input and output values
-
Consider real-world factors like protocol overhead and latency when comparing results
Limitations
-
ISDN (dual channel) is a service-level descriptor and not a strict SI unit, so actual rates may vary
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra) represents signaling modes, not standardized bandwidth units
-
Conversion is approximate and does not reflect protocol overhead or transfer efficiencies
-
Differences in technology types make precise equivalence impossible
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) represent in data transfer?
-
ISDN (dual channel) refers to using two 64 kbit/s B channels bonded together to achieve about 128 kbit/s data throughput in telecommunication services.
-
Why convert ISDN (dual channel) to SCSI (Fast Ultra)?
-
Converting these units helps integrate or compare telecommunication data rates with storage device performance metrics in IT environments.
-
Is the conversion between ISDN (dual channel) and SCSI (Fast Ultra) exact?
-
No, the conversion is approximate because ISDN is a service-level bandwidth descriptor and SCSI signals represent device throughput modes, both differing in nature.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (dual channel)
