What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms data transfer rates measured in STM-1 (signal), a telecommunication synchronous transmission unit, into SCSI (Async), representing asynchronous data transfer performance in legacy computer interfaces.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value you want to convert in STM-1 (signal).
-
Select SCSI (Async) as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in SCSI (Async).
-
Use the conversion results for performance comparison or system configuration.
Key Features
-
Supports conversion from STM-1 (signal) to SCSI (Async) units.
-
Ideal for comparing synchronous telecom speeds with asynchronous SCSI device throughput.
-
Useful in telecommunications network provisioning and legacy hardware benchmarking.
-
Provides clear unit definitions and conversion examples.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation.
Examples
-
1 STM-1 (signal) equals 12.96 SCSI (Async).
-
3 STM-1 (signal) equals 38.88 SCSI (Async).
Common Use Cases
-
Provisioning 155.52 Mbit/s backbone fiber links in telecom networks.
-
Benchmarking legacy SCSI devices operating in asynchronous mode.
-
Troubleshooting SCSI bus timing and compatibility on embedded systems.
-
Translating synchronous telecom data rates for legacy computer interface evaluation.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify device response times and handshake delays when interpreting asynchronous SCSI results.
-
Use this conversion for comparing theoretical values rather than exact device throughput.
-
Apply the tool to assist in configuring legacy or embedded systems involving SCSI interfaces.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes ideal conditions and does not reflect real device delays or bus arbitration.
-
Actual SCSI (Async) throughput can vary significantly depending on hardware response time.
-
This fixed rate provides an approximation but not precise performance metrics.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does STM-1 (signal) represent?
-
STM-1 (signal) is the basic transmission unit of the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, carrying synchronous signals at 155.52 Mbit/s, commonly used in telecom networks.
-
What is SCSI (Async) mode?
-
SCSI (Async) refers to the asynchronous data transfer mode of SCSI devices, where data is transferred using request and acknowledge handshakes without a shared clock.
-
Why convert STM-1 (signal) to SCSI (Async)?
-
Users convert STM-1 (signal) to SCSI (Async) to compare synchronous telecom rates with legacy asynchronous SCSI throughput for performance evaluation and system compatibility.
Key Terminology
-
STM-1 (signal)
-
The fundamental transmission unit of SDH carrying synchronous data at 155.52 Mbit/s, used in telecom backbone networks.
-
SCSI (Async)
-
An asynchronous data transfer mode for SCSI devices where communication is handled by request and acknowledge handshakes instead of a shared clock.
