What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate data transfer rates between SCSI (Fast Ultra), a parallel SCSI interface for high-performance devices, and T2 (signal), a historic North American digital carrier used in telecommunications. It allows users to compare these different technologies' throughput values.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the amount in SCSI (Fast Ultra) units you want to convert
-
Select SCSI (Fast Ultra) as the source unit and T2 (signal) as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent data transfer rate in T2 (signal) units
-
Review conversion results to compare data throughput between these technologies
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer speeds from SCSI (Fast Ultra) to T2 (signal) units
-
Based on a fixed conversion rate linking parallel SCSI throughput to legacy telecom signals
-
Supports analysis and comparison of legacy IT storage with historical telecommunications systems
-
Simple interface for entering values and obtaining equivalent transfer rates
-
Provides examples to illustrate conversions
Examples
-
2 SCSI (Fast Ultra) converts to approximately 50.6970849176 T2 (signal)
-
0.5 SCSI (Fast Ultra) equals around 12.6742712294 T2 (signal)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing device-to-host throughput of parallel SCSI interfaces with legacy telecom lines
-
Analyzing network infrastructure that integrates high-performance storage and legacy telecommunications
-
Managing legacy tape backup systems alongside historic digital carrier lines
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion when needing to relate SCSI throughput to telecommunications line capacity
-
Remember this tool expresses theoretical equivalent throughput rather than actual performance
-
Apply the conversion mainly for historical analysis or legacy system integration contexts
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra) and T2 (signal) are different technologies serving distinct purposes
-
Conversion shows throughput equivalency only; protocol overheads and performance nuances are not included
-
T2 signals are mostly obsolete, so conversions are generally relevant in historical or academic scenarios
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SCSI (Fast Ultra)?
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra) is a parallel SCSI signaling mode combining Fast and Ultra extensions to enhance device-to-host data transfer with compatibility to the SCSI command set.
-
What does T2 (signal) represent?
-
T2 is a legacy North American digital carrier level used to transmit multiplexed PCM channels at 6.312 Mbps, mainly for medium-capacity leased lines and telecom trunking.
-
Why convert data transfer rates from SCSI to T2?
-
Converting allows comparison between modern parallel SCSI device throughput and legacy telecommunications carrier lines, useful for integrating and analyzing legacy infrastructures.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra)
-
A parallel signaling mode that combines fast and ultra extensions to improve SCSI device-to-host data transfer speeds and maintain compatibility.
-
T2 (signal)
-
A legacy North American digital carrier transmitting multiplexed PCM channels at a nominal 6.312 Mbps used in medium-capacity leased lines.
-
Data Transfer
-
The process or rate at which data is moved from one device or medium to another.
