What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms data transfer measurements from Virtual Tributary 6 (payload), a SONET/SDH virtual tributary container, into SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide), a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode. It helps bridge optical network payloads with traditional parallel SCSI storage interface rates.

Common Use Cases
-
Mapping and carrying lower-rate plesiochronous/PDH payloads within SONET/SDH networks using Virtual Tributary 6 containers.
-
Integrating legacy parallel SCSI storage devices and controllers with optical network data rate measurements.
-
Planning telecommunications infrastructure with legacy and modern data transfer standards.
-
Backing up data to tape libraries or streaming devices via SCSI interfaces in enterprise IT systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the context of your data transfer units before converting to ensure appropriate application.
-
Use this converter for planning or comparison rather than absolute performance benchmarking.
-
Consider underlying protocol overhead and hardware factors which may affect actual throughput.
-
Cross-check conversions when integrating legacy telecom infrastructure with storage systems.
Limitations
-
Conversion links data rates from different technologies and eras with distinct operational domains.
-
Actual throughput depends on additional factors like protocol overhead and hardware design.
-
Direct equivalence may be limited by differences in signaling and implementation details.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Virtual Tributary 6 (payload)?
-
It is a SONET/SDH virtual tributary container that carries defined lower-rate plesiochronous/PDH payloads within a larger synchronous payload for grooming and multiplexing.
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represent?
-
It is a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface variant combining a wider data bus and faster signaling, used to connect storage devices and controllers with higher throughput than earlier SCSI modes.
-
Why convert from Virtual Tributary 6 (payload) to SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)?
-
To translate SONET/SDH virtual tributary data rates into legacy parallel SCSI data-transfer capabilities for integration and comparison between telecom and storage systems.
