What is SCSI (Ultra-2)?

SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling to provide improved data-transfer performance and longer cable lengths for connecting storage peripherals.

What does OC24 represent?

OC24 is a SONET designation representing 24 times the base OC-1 rate, defining the capacity of an optical fiber channel used in legacy SONET networks.

Can this converter account for protocol overhead?

No, the conversion tool uses nominal signaling rates and does not include protocol overhead, encoding differences, or variations caused by actual hardware or network performance.
