What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to translate data transfer values from the T1C digital carrier signal used in telecommunications into the SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) interface speed class typically found in legacy storage systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in T1C (signal) units you want to convert
-
Select T1C (signal) as the input unit and SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent data transfer rate
-
Review the results for planning or comparison purposes
Key Features
-
Converts T1C (signal) units to SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) data transfer rates

-
Includes example conversions for enhanced understanding
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
-
Supports legacy and enterprise IT infrastructure planning
Examples
-
10 T1C (signal) equals 0.0985 SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
-
100 T1C (signal) equals 0.985 SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
Common Use Cases
-
Evaluating leased-line Internet or WAN links compared to storage interface speeds
-
Comparing telecom voice/data channel capacities with legacy SCSI storage performance
-
Planning integration between telecommunications infrastructure and enterprise backup systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify units before conversion to ensure correct comparison
-
Use the tool for rough capacity planning rather than exact measurement
-
Consider device and cable quality when assessing data transfer performance
-
Keep in mind legacy technology limitations when integrating old systems
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) is a legacy interface speed class, not a formal SI unit
-
Conversion is approximate due to different transmission and bus architectures
-
Practical speeds can vary with hardware and environmental conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is T1C (signal)?
-
T1C is a North American digital carrier signal transmitting data at 1.544 Mbps by multiplexing 24 voice/data channels, commonly used in leased lines and telecom voice trunks.
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) mean?
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) refers to a legacy parallel interface mode with a wider 16-bit data bus and faster signaling, used primarily for connecting storage devices in older computing systems.
-
Why convert between T1C (signal) and SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)?
-
Converting helps compare telecommunications data rates with legacy storage interface capacities, aiding in infrastructure integration and performance assessment.
Key Terminology
-
T1C (signal)
-
A North American digital carrier signal transmitting multiple 64 kbps channels over a 1.544 Mbps line for synchronous voice and data transport.
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
-
A legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode with a 16-bit data bus and faster signaling used to connect storage devices and controllers.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of digital data moved from one place to another in a given time, expressed in units such as Mbps or interface speed classes.
