What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate data transfer rates from STS3 (payload), which represents payload capacity in SONET OC-3 optical transport channels, to SCSI (Ultra-2), a parallel interface standard used for high-performance storage devices. It supports telecom and data center professionals in assessing and comparing network and storage data transfer capabilities.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the amount in STS3 (payload) you want to convert
  • Select STS3 (payload) as the source unit and SCSI (Ultra-2) as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in SCSI (Ultra-2)
  • Use the results to compare data transfer capacities between telecom and storage systems

Key Features

  • Converts data rates between STS3 (payload) and SCSI (Ultra-2) units
  • Utilizes the defined conversion rate of 1 STS3 (payload) = 0.2349 SCSI (Ultra-2)
  • Supports understanding of payload and storage interface capacities
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations

Examples

  • 2 STS3 (payload) converts to 0.4698 SCSI (Ultra-2)
  • 5 STS3 (payload) converts to 1.1745 SCSI (Ultra-2)

Common Use Cases

  • Planning and provisioning carrier backbone OC-3 links in telecom networks
  • Measuring leased-line payload capacities for service billing and SLA adherence
  • Connecting enterprise storage arrays and RAID controllers via SCSI Ultra-2 interfaces
  • Integrating telecom optical transport payload rates with data center storage performance

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always confirm the context of your data transfers since the conversion relates to payload rates, not raw line rates
  • Consider the use case differences between telecom optical links and storage interface protocols
  • Use the conversion results as an approximation for capacity comparison, mindful of protocol and signaling differences

Limitations

  • Conversion focuses only on transfer rates, excluding protocol overhead or command delays
  • STS3 (payload) figures exclude SONET framing bytes, reflecting payload capacity rather than total line rate
  • Practical equivalence may vary due to different signaling methods and deployment environments

Frequently Asked Questions

What does STS3 (payload) represent?
STS3 (payload) is the user-data portion of a SONET STS-3 frame, indicating the bytes available for client traffic within an OC-3 optical transport channel after removing framing and overhead bytes.

What is SCSI (Ultra-2)?
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel Small Computer System Interface standard that uses Low Voltage Differential signaling to provide improved data transfer performance for storage peripherals such as disk arrays and tape drives.

Why convert between STS3 (payload) and SCSI (Ultra-2)?
Users convert to compare data transfer capacities between telecommunications carrier payload rates and parallel SCSI storage interfaces, particularly when integrating telecom optical links with server storage systems.

Key Terminology

STS3 (payload)
The payload capacity within a SONET STS-3 (OC-3) frame representing user data bytes available after subtracting framing and overhead.
SCSI (Ultra-2)
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling to enable higher data transfer speeds and longer cable lengths for storage devices.
Payload
The portion of a data transmission channel dedicated to carrying user traffic, excluding protocol framing and overhead bytes.
