Direct conversions indicate nominal equivalence; actual throughput may vary
-
Performance depends on specific hardware, protocol efficiency, and environment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represent?
-
It is a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode offering higher data transfer rates than earlier SCSI by using a wider bus and faster signaling.
-
What is OC192 used for?
-
OC192 is a SONET optical line standard operating near 10 Gbit/s, used in fiber-optic links for high-capacity digital traffic transport.
-
Why convert from SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) to OC192?
-
To compare legacy storage interface throughput with modern optical carrier rates, aiding infrastructure planning and performance assessment.
