70 Cheetah 10K.6 SCSI Product Manual, Rev. D 9.7.1.3 Cables for low voltage differential drivers/receivers The SPI-3 and SPI-4 specification for differential impedance for LVD cables is 122.5 ± 12.5 ohms. The maximum SCSI bus length between the terminators for a SCSI LVD point-to-point system (one initiator and one target) is 25 meters (82 feet). The maximum SCSI bus length between the terminators for a SCSI LVD multidrop system (up to 16 total SCSI devices) is 12 meters (39.37 feet). However, implementation of this 12-meter total length is dependent on the configuration of the system and the choice of cable. See Tables 20 and 21 for examples of recommended SCSI LVD cable types and lengths. It should be noted from the data in Tables 20 and 21 that shielded round twisted-pair cables can be used to implement a 12-meter system, while Twist-n-flat cables cannot be used to implement a 12-meter system due to higher levels of attenuation and crosstalk. In addition, twist-n-flat cables with shorter sections of twist allow greater crosstalk and their lengths must be reduced as shown in Table 21.

The user, systems integrator or host equipment manufacturer must provide a terminator arrangement external to the drive when termination is required. For LW drives, terminator modules can be purchased that plug between the SCSI I/O cable and the drive I/O connector or on the end of a short I/O cable stub extending past the last cable connector. LC drives are designed to be plugged into a backpanel connector without cabling.
