CHAPTER 2: Introduction
• Supports SCSI 1, 2, and 3 specifications.
• Single-Ended/Differential SCSI interface.
• Does not require SCSI bus ID.
• 1.06 GHz fiber optic serial link.
• Standard SC fiber optic connectors.
• Compatible with standard fiber optic cables.
• Fiber optic data security.
• Internal active bus termination.
• No additional software required.
• User-installable.
The SCSI Fiber Optic Extender supports a maximum SCSI data rate of 80 MBps
in asynchronous or synchronous mode. It helps you to fully take advantage of the
ULTRA 2 SCSI performance available in top-of-the-line computers and peripheral
devices. Proprietary switching logic lets the Extender maintain complete SCSI
command functionality and remain transparent to the user.
The Extender conforms to ANSI X3.131 and X3T9.2 specifications with single-
ended device termination. Disconnect and Reselect are fully supported to ensure
complete SCSI compatibility. The Extender does not require a SCSI device
address.
A 68-pin SCSI connector on the rear panel is provided for easy installation to
the host or peripheral. Bus terminators are internally installed. These terminators
can be removed for systems that require external termination.
A standard duplex fiber optic cable with SC connectors provide the interface
between local and remote units. Fiber optic cable is lighter and thinner than
standard wire cable, so installation is easier.
The SCSI Fiber Optic Extender contains a universal power cord receptacle and
rear-panel AC switch to autorange between 100 VAC and 240 VAC.
