What does SCSI (Async) represent?

SCSI (Async) denotes an asynchronous data transfer mode of the Small Computer System Interface protocol, where data transfer relies on request/acknowledge handshakes rather than a shared clock.

What is STS48 (signal) used for?

STS48 (signal) is a synchronous optical transport signal used in telecommunications for high-capacity backbone links and data center interconnections.

Can this conversion guarantee real-world transfer rates?

No, the conversion reflects theoretical throughput; actual rates depend on device specifics, protocol overhead, and environmental conditions.
