What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer measurements from the SCSI (LVD Ultra160) interface standard to the T2 (signal) telecommunications carrier level. It helps translate maximum bandwidth specifications between legacy storage and telecom systems.
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 T2 (signal) as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent T2 (signal) data rate.
-
Use the converted value to compare storage bandwidth with telecom circuit capacity.
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer rates between SCSI (LVD Ultra160) and T2 (signal) units.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation.
-
Supports legacy technology bandwidth comparisons and planning.
-
Displays conversions based on nominal maximum throughput values.
-
Ideal for IT infrastructure and telecommunications historic capacity analysis.
Examples
-
1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) equals approximately 202.79 T2 (signal).
-
0.5 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) corresponds to about 101.39 T2 (signal).
Common Use Cases
-
Assessing legacy storage bus bandwidth during system migration or compatibility planning.
-
Comparing throughput of parallel SCSI tape drives with telecommunications channel capacities.
-
Evaluating historic telecommunications leased lines alongside storage I/O performance.
-
Planning maintenance for legacy IT and telecom infrastructure.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify that the data transfer values represent nominal maximum throughput for accurate context.
-
Use this conversion for legacy system evaluations rather than modern interfaces.
-
Understand that actual throughput may vary due to environmental and protocol factors.
-
Combine with other compatibility assessments when planning system migrations.
Limitations
-
Conversion is based on nominal maximum rates and does not reflect real-world effective data rates.
-
Both SCSI (LVD Ultra160) and T2 (signal) are legacy standards largely replaced by newer technologies.
-
Not suitable for evaluating current modern high-speed data transfer interfaces.
-
Does not account for overhead or error correction impacts on throughput.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) represent?
-
It is a parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling, providing a maximum sustained data-transfer rate of up to 160 megabytes per second for storage devices.
-
What is T2 (signal) used for?
-
T2 (signal) is a legacy digital carrier level in the North American T‑carrier system transmitting at about 6.312 megabits per second, historically used for medium-capacity leased lines and trunking between switches.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra160) to T2 (signal)?
-
The conversion helps compare storage interface bandwidth with telecommunications carrier capacity, useful for legacy system assessments, planning, and understanding historic data throughput equivalences.
