What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform data transfer rates measured in T2 (signal), a legacy telecommunications carrier speed, into equivalent values expressed in SCSI (Fast Wide), a storage interface bandwidth unit. It is designed to facilitate comparisons and integrate legacy telecom data rates with disk and storage subsystem speeds.

Apply conversion insights when planning system integration or legacy upgrades
-
Verify device and cable specifications influencing SCSI (Fast Wide) speeds
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes ideal conditions and may not reflect real-world throughput
-
Different units of measurement require careful interpretation (bits vs. bytes)
-
Legacy units mean this conversion has limited use with modern systems
-
Performance affected by protocol overhead and physical layer constraints
Frequently Asked Questions
