What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms data transfer values between SCSI (Ultra-2), a storage interface standard, and T2 (signal), a legacy telecom carrier rate. It assists in comparing and understanding throughput differences for specialist IT and telecom applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (Ultra-2) units you wish to convert
-
Select the SCSI (Ultra-2) as the input unit and T2 (signal) as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the T2 (signal) equivalent data transfer rate
Key Features
-
Converts SCSI (Ultra-2) parallel interface data rates to T2 (signal) telecom carrier equivalents
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Supports conversions relevant to data center and telecommunications environments
Examples
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals approximately 101.39 T2 (signal)
-
0.5 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals approximately 50.70 T2 (signal)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing data rates between storage device interfaces and telecom lines
-
Analyzing legacy network and telecommunications infrastructure
-
Planning IT and telecom integrations involving parallel storage and leased line capacities
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool primarily for theoretical and historical analysis rather than direct equipment compatibility
-
Consider protocol and signaling differences when interpreting results
-
Apply conversions in the context of data center and legacy telecom system assessments
Limitations
-
T2 (signal) is a legacy telecom standard with limited current usage
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) represents parallel bus storage interfaces; real-world data transfer may be affected by overhead
-
The conversion offers theoretical comparison and does not guarantee interoperability between systems
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-2)?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is an enhanced parallel Small Computer System Interface standard that uses Low Voltage Differential signaling for higher performance and longer cable lengths than its predecessors.
-
What applications used T2 (signal)?
-
T2 (signal) was used in North American telecommunications for medium-capacity leased lines, PBX trunk connections, and early backbone links before fiber and higher-rate carriers prevailed.
-
Can this conversion be used for real-time data transfer?
-
No, the conversion is mainly theoretical for comparison and historical analysis, and direct real-time translation may not be accurate due to protocol and signaling differences.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for improved data transfer and cable length.
-
T2 (signal)
-
A legacy digital carrier level in the North American telecom system transmitting at about 6.312 Mbps for medium-capacity leased lines.
-
Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
-
A signaling method used in SCSI (Ultra-2) to enhance performance and cable length compared to earlier variants.
