What Is This Tool?
This converter translates data transfer rates from SCSI (LVD Ultra80), a high-performance storage interface, to STS3 (signal), a standard telecommunications transmission signal. It helps bridge legacy storage bandwidth metrics with telecom network rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (LVD Ultra80) units that you want to convert
-
Select SCSI (LVD Ultra80) as the input unit and STS3 (signal) as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent STS3 (signal) value
-
Review the results and apply them for network or storage integration tasks
Key Features
-
Simple and user-friendly interface for data transfer unit conversion
-

Browser-based tool with no installation needed
Examples
-
1 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) equals approximately 4.115 STS3 (signal)
-
2 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) equals approximately 8.230 STS3 (signal)
Common Use Cases
-
Translating storage interface bandwidth for telecom transmission rates
-
Integrating legacy SCSI storage systems with SONET/SDH optical networks
-
Provisioning and managing telecom links at equivalent data rates
-
Supporting enterprise and ISP interconnect bandwidth planning
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand the difference between bytes per second and bits per second units
-
Use the conversion tool as a guideline, considering protocol overhead variations
-
Verify bandwidth availability according to your specific system and network setup
-
Leverage conversions to optimize integration between storage and telecom infrastructures
Limitations
-
Conversion is approximate due to differing measurement units and protocol overhead
-
Actual bandwidth may vary depending on network conditions and system implementation
-
Not suitable for precise engineering calculations without further validation
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra80) represent?
-
It is the Low Voltage Differential variant of the Ultra2 SCSI interface providing up to 80 MB/s on a 16-bit bus.
-
What is STS3 (signal) used for?
-
STS3 is a SONET transmission signal at 155.52 Mbps used to transport multiple channels in optical or electrical networks.
-
Why is conversion between these units approximate?
-
Because SCSI measures bytes per second and STS3 measures bits per second, with different protocols and potential overhead.
