What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms values from OC768, a high-speed optical carrier rate, to SCSI (Sync), a synchronous data transfer mode used in storage interfaces. It helps bridge concepts between telecommunications backbone speeds and storage transfer rates with precise timing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in OC768 units that you want to convert.
-
Select OC768 as the input unit and SCSI (Sync) as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent synchronous SCSI transfer value.
-
Use the results to inform network or storage system configurations.
Key Features
-
Convert between high-capacity optical carrier data rates (OC768) and synchronous SCSI transfer speeds.
-
Supports converting data transfer units relevant to telecommunications and storage systems.
-
Provides an easy browser-based interface for rapid and accurate data rate translation.
-
Uses established conversion rate: 1 OC768 equals 995.328 SCSI (Sync).
Examples
-
1 OC768 equals 995.328 SCSI (Sync).
-
2 OC768 equals 1990.656 SCSI (Sync).
Common Use Cases
-
Align carrier and national backbone optical data rates with storage transfer speeds.
-
Configure data center backbone links and storage array interfaces with accurate bandwidth understanding.
-
Translate telecom core transport throughput into device-level synchronous storage transfer rates.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider protocol overhead and negotiation details in SCSI (Sync) when interpreting converted values.
-
Use this tool as an approximation since physical line rates and device protocol speeds differ in real scenarios.
-
Verify conversions carefully for long-haul or metro DWDM systems with multiplexed OC768 channels.
Limitations
-
The conversion is a theoretical correlation between different technologies and layers of data transfer.
-
SCSI (Sync) speeds vary with negotiated clock and offset, so values are approximate.
-
OC768 rates represent physical line speeds which may include multiplexed channels, limiting direct equivalence.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does OC768 represent?
-
OC768 is a high-capacity optical carrier rate in the SONET hierarchy with a line speed of about 39.8 Gbit/s used for fiber-optic backbone links.
-
What is SCSI (Sync)?
-
SCSI (Sync) is the synchronous transfer mode of the SCSI protocol where data is transferred synchronized to a clock with negotiated parameters for higher throughput.
-
Why is conversion between OC768 and SCSI (Sync) useful?
-
It helps relate carrier-level optical backbone data rates to storage interface transfer speeds requiring precise timing and bandwidth considerations.
Key Terminology
