What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to translate data transfer rates from T1C, a telecommunications digital signal, into IDE (UDMA-66), a Parallel ATA storage device transfer mode. It helps compare these distinct technologies for evaluating network and storage performance.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in T1C (signal) that you want to convert
-
Select IDE (UDMA-66) as the target unit for conversion
-
Click convert to receive the equivalent IDE (UDMA-66) value
-
Use the results to compare telecommunications line rates with legacy PATA device speeds
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer units between T1C (signal) and IDE (UDMA-66)
-
Easy-to-use online interface suitable for network and hardware professionals
-
Provides conversion based on defined theoretical rate: 1 T1C equals 0.005969697 IDE (UDMA-66)
-
Supports performance planning and diagnostics by linking telecom and storage transfer metrics
Examples
-
1 T1C (signal) converts to 0.005969697 IDE (UDMA-66)
-
10 T1C (signal) converts to 0.05969697 IDE (UDMA-66)
Common Use Cases
-
Evaluating leased-line Internet or WAN link speeds in telecommunications
-
Comparing network transmission rates with legacy PATA storage transfer modes
-
Configuring and diagnosing performance on legacy IDE storage systems
-
Planning data backhaul and multiplexed remote-office connectivity
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion to understand relative data transfer rates across different technologies
-
Consider environment, device, and protocol overhead when interpreting converted values
-
Apply conversions for legacy hardware maintenance and network planning
-
Verify conversion context aligns with your performance evaluation needs
Limitations
-
The conversion compares fundamentally different technologies and is theoretical

Actual throughput may differ due to protocol overhead and hardware constraints
-
Not suitable for direct performance comparison without considering contextual factors
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does T1C (signal) represent?
-
T1C is a North American telecommunications digital signal transmitting at 1.544 Mbps using time-division multiplexing of voice and data channels.
-
What is IDE (UDMA-66)?
-
IDE (UDMA-66) is a Parallel ATA transfer mode specifying a maximum theoretical data rate of 66.7 MB/s for legacy PATA storage devices.
-
Why convert between T1C (signal) and IDE (UDMA-66)?
-
Converting these units helps compare telecom line transmission rates with storage device transfer capabilities for system performance evaluation.
-
Is the conversion exact for real-world performance?
-
No, the theoretical conversion does not account for protocol overhead, device limits, or environmental factors that affect actual performance.
