-
10 SCSI (Fast Wide) converts to about 1,190.48 T1 (payload)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing throughput of legacy storage interfaces with telecom data rates
-
Planning network capacity between storage systems and telecommunications equipment
-
Assessing usable bandwidth for legacy leased-line Internet connections
-
Designing PBX and trunk channel allocations in telecom systems
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always consider implementation details that may affect actual SCSI throughput
-
Take into account framing overhead when dealing with T1 payload versus gross line rate
-
Verify whether data transfer rates are expressed in bytes or bits to avoid conversion errors
-
Use this tool as a reference for comparing technical standards in IT and telecom planning
-
Double-check units and conversion factors when preparing infrastructure specifications
Limitations
-
Theoretical maximum throughput for SCSI (Fast Wide) may vary under real-world conditions
-
T1 (payload) reflects usable data throughput excluding framing and overhead
-
Conversion differences between bytes and bits require careful attention
-
Performance and line rate may differ from nominal values due to system factors
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Wide) represent in data transfer?
-
SCSI (Fast Wide) is a SCSI-2 interface combining a 10 MHz Fast timing with a 16-bit wide data bus, offering up to 20 megabytes per second theoretical throughput on a 16-bit single-ended implementation.
-
What is T1 (payload) in telecommunications?
-
T1 (payload) is the usable data throughput of a North American T1 carrier, comprising 24 channels at 64 kb/s each, totaling 1.536 megabits per second excluding framing overhead.
-
Why convert from SCSI (Fast Wide) to T1 (payload)?
-
Converting helps compare high-speed storage interface rates with telecom data rates, aiding infrastructure planning and integration between legacy storage and telecommunications systems.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Wide)
-
A SCSI-2 interface mode with 10 MHz Fast timing and a 16-bit wide data bus, enabling up to 20 MB/s data transfer.
-
T1 (payload)
-
The usable user data throughput of a T1 digital carrier, totaling 1.536 Mbps from 24 channels at 64 kb/s, excluding overhead.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The fixed multiplier between two units; here, 1 SCSI (Fast Wide) equals approximately 119.05 T1 (payload).
