Understanding SCSI Connector Types Several different types of SCSI connectors are used on SCSI devices, and each type requires a different kind of cable. The following diagrams illustrate the different kinds of SCSI connectors: SCSI-2 High-density 50-pin Connector Typically used with high-performance CD-ROM drives, hard disk drives, Jaz drives, and Plug and Play devices. SCSI-1, Low-density Centronics 50-pin Connector Used with many CD-ROM drives, hard disk drives, SCSI tape drives, and scanners DB25 Connector Used with Iomega ZIP drives, Syquest EZFlyer, etc. If you have a SCSI device with a DB25 connector, you can order a free DB25 cable from Adaptec to connect it to the SlimSCSI 1460. The mail-in card for the cable is inserted in this User's Guide. The total length of cabling on the SCSI bus should not exceed the maximum lengths listed in the following table: Maximum Devices Supported 3 3 Maximum Cable Lengths Data Transfer Rate Fast SCSI (10 MBytes/sec) 5 MBytes/sec asynchronous or synchronous Maximum Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft.) 6 m (19.7 ft.) 17
