What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate data transfer rates measured in SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide), a legacy parallel storage interface mode, into OC768, a high-speed optical carrier used in telecom backbone links. It provides an understanding of how these two different technologies compare in terms of transfer capability.

It is a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode combining a wider data bus and faster signalling to achieve higher data throughput for storage devices.
-
What is OC768 used for?
-
OC768 is an optical carrier rate used in fiber-optic backbone networks for high-capacity synchronous data transport.
-
Why convert from SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) to OC768?
-
Conversion helps compare legacy storage interface speeds with modern optical network rates to plan infrastructure transitions.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
-
A legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode with a wider data bus and faster signalling for higher sustained throughput on storage devices.
-
OC768
-
A high-speed optical carrier rate in the SONET hierarchy with a line rate of about 39.8 Gbit/s used for telecom backbone transport.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of digital data moved from one place to another in a given time, measured in units like SCSI or OC768.
