What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to transform data transfer values from T2 (signal), a legacy telecom line rate, into SCSI (LVD Ultra160), a parallel SCSI storage bandwidth metric. It is useful for comparing network throughput and storage performance in engineering and system planning.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numerical value in T2 (signal) units you wish to convert
-
Select T2 (signal) as the from unit and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) as the to unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent SCSI (LVD Ultra160) value
-
Use the results to evaluate or compare data transfer rates between telecom and storage systems
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer units between T2 (signal) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
Supports comparison of legacy telecommunications and storage interface data rates
-
Simple and browser-based interface for quick conversions
-
Includes practical examples to illustrate usage
-
Helps in engineering analysis and migration planning
Examples
-
Convert 10 T2 (signal) to SCSI (LVD Ultra160): 10 × 0.00493125 = 0.0493125 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
Convert 100 T2 (signal) to SCSI (LVD Ultra160): 100 × 0.00493125 = 0.493125 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing legacy telecom line rates with storage interface bandwidths in engineering evaluations
-
Planning system migrations involving legacy T2 telecommunications and SCSI storage devices
-
Assessing historic leased line throughput against storage I/O paths in legacy server environments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that T2 (signal) is a telecom line rate measured in megabits per second, while SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is bandwidth in megabytes per second
-
Use conversions to facilitate comparison but consider protocol overheads and technology differences
-
Verify conversion outcomes within the context of your specific engineering or planning scenario
-
Avoid directly equating nominal line rates to sustained storage throughput without further analysis
Limitations
-
Conversion compares telecom nominal line rate to storage interface bandwidth, which are distinct data transfer contexts
-
Results do not account for protocol overheads or practical throughput variations
-
This tool does not provide performance metrics beyond nominal conversion factors
-
It is designed for legacy data transfer standard comparisons and may not apply to modern systems
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is T2 (signal) used for?
-
T2 (signal) was used in telecommunications for medium-capacity leased lines, trunk connections between telephone offices, and early point-to-point backbone links.
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) represent?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) defines a parallel SCSI interface with low voltage differential signaling that supports up to 160 megabytes per second bandwidth between host adapters and storage devices.
-
Why convert between T2 and SCSI units?
-
Conversions help compare legacy telecommunications data rates with storage bandwidths to support engineering assessments and system migration planning.
Key Terminology
-
T2 (signal)
-
A legacy digital carrier level in the North American T-carrier system transmitting at approximately 6.312 megabits per second for telecommunications trunking.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling to provide up to 160 megabytes per second bandwidth between host adapters and storage devices.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted between devices, measured in bits or bytes per second depending on the context.
