What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer rates between SCSI (LVD Ultra160), a parallel SCSI interface used mainly in legacy storage systems, and STS192 (signal), a high-speed synchronous transport signal in telecom networks. It provides an easy way to translate bandwidths from storage bus standards into telecommunications signal equivalents.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units you want to convert.
-
Select SCSI (LVD Ultra160) as the input unit and STS192 (signal) as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent data transfer rate in STS192 (signal).
-
Use the converted results to assist in network planning or legacy system assessments.
Key Features
-
Converts between SCSI (LVD Ultra160) bandwidths and STS192 (signal) data transfer rates.
-
Based on the precise conversion rate defined for theoretical maximum throughput.
-
Supports planning and comparison of legacy storage and telecom network capacities.
-
Browser-based and user friendly with straightforward input and output.
Examples
-
Convert 10 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units to get 1.28600823 STS192 (signal).
-
Convert 50 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units resulting in 6.43004115 STS192 (signal).
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying max data-transfer rates for internal disk arrays and RAID controllers in legacy servers.
-
Comparing throughput of tape drives and backup systems using parallel SCSI interfaces.
-
Translating legacy storage bus bandwidths into telecom signal equivalents for network integration.
-
Planning and compatibility checks in system migration and telecom infrastructure.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the tool for theoretical bandwidth comparison rather than exact data transport simulation.
-
Consider legacy and telecom contexts separately when applying converted values.
-
Use the conversion primarily for planning and engineering assessment.
-
Always verify conversion context since storage and telecom systems operate differently.
Limitations
-
Reflects maximum theoretical bandwidth, not accounting for protocol overhead or real throughput.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) applies to legacy storage devices; STS192 refers to telecom signals.
-
Practical use of conversion may be limited to planning, comparison, and compatibility contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) represent?
-
It is a parallel SCSI interface standard that uses Low Voltage Differential signalling to specify a maximum sustained data transfer rate of up to 160 MB/s, mainly used in legacy storage systems.
-
What is STS192 (signal)?
-
STS192 is a synchronous transport signal level in the SONET family corresponding to an electrical framing rate of about 9.95328 Gbit/s, used in high-speed telecom carrier transport.
-
Can I use this conversion for exact data transfer calculations?
-
No, the conversion reflects theoretical maximum bandwidths and does not consider protocol overhead or actual throughput variations.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
