What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert data transfer rates from ISDN (single channel), a telecom channel capacity unit, to SCSI (Ultra-2), a standard for high-performance storage interfaces. It helps translate telecommunications data rates into storage device units for comparison and integration.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ISDN (single channel) units representing the data transfer rate
-
Select ISDN (single channel) as the source unit and SCSI (Ultra-2) as the target unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent value in SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
Interpret the result to facilitate data center or telecom equipment configurations
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer values from ISDN (single channel) to SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
Uses standardized nominal rates for meaningful comparisons
-
Supports telecom and storage industry unit conversions
-
Browser-based and user friendly with simple input and output
Examples
-
10 ISDN (single channel) converts to 0.001 SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
100 ISDN (single channel) converts to 0.01 SCSI (Ultra-2)
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying ISDN B-channel data rates in network equipment provisioning
-
Translating telecom channel capacities to storage interface units
-
Configuring legacy digital telephony and storage device integration
-
Comparing throughput between telecom channels and parallel SCSI peripherals
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool to compare data rates across different technology domains
-
Remember this conversion reflects nominal rates, not exact throughput
-
Always verify context to ensure meaningful interpretation of converted values
-
Combine multiple ISDN channels before conversion for aggregated capacity insights
Limitations
-
Conversion is based on nominal or standardized data rates only
-
Actual data throughput can vary due to overhead and hardware differences
-
ISDN (single channel) and SCSI (Ultra-2) measure fundamentally different technologies
-
The tool provides a rate equivalence, not protocol or hardware interoperability
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 ISDN (single channel) represent in data transfer?
-
It represents one ISDN bearer channel with a nominal capacity of 64 kilobits per second used in telecom systems.
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-2) used for?
-
It is a SCSI standard for connecting storage devices like disk arrays and tape drives with higher transfer performance.
-
Does this conversion guarantee exact data transfer rates?
-
No, the conversion uses nominal rates and actual throughput may vary due to overhead and hardware implementation.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (single channel)
-
A telecom bearer channel with a nominal data rate of 64 kbit/s used in Integrated Services Digital Network systems.
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for higher storage data transfer performance.
-
Data transfer rate
-
The speed at which data is moved from one place to another, measured here in units like ISDN channels or SCSI standards.
