This document introduces SCSI 1, SCSI 2, SCSI 3 series of connection lines, including CEN50, H.P. DB50, H.P. DB68 and other interface types, as well as supported speeds, transmission distances and other parameters.
The leaflet lists Computer/Datacom SCSI cables for SCSI‑1, SCSI‑2 and SCSI‑3 standards. It describes connector types (CEN50, CEN60, DB50, DB68), shielding (double‑shielded with mylar foil and 85% braid), and cable gauge (28 AWG).\n\nEach cable entry includes part numbers, length options, and maximum transfer rates. Adapter cables for converting between SCSI generations and for IBM® RS6000 are also provided.
| Maximum transfer rate (SCSI 1) | 5 Mbps |
|---|---|
| Maximum transfer rate (SCSI 2) | 40 Mbps |
| Maximum transfer rate (SCSI 3) | 40 Mbps |
| Cable gauge | 28 AWG |
| Shielding type | Double shielded with mylar foil and 85% braid |
| Devices per SCSI 1 bus | 7 devices |
SCSI 2 cables support a maximum transfer rate of up to 40 Mbps.
Up to seven devices can be daisy‑chained on a SCSI 1 bus.
SCSI 3 cables use an H.P. DB68 connector.
