About SCSI cable
• The CRW2200SX drive requires a D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type
connector. The connector of the SCSI card may vary. You will need to
purchase a SCSI cable with connectors suitable for both the drive and the
SCSI card. The following are the most common types of SCSI connector:
D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type (as found on the
CRW2200SX
drive)
Half-pitch 50-pin Centronics
• The total of the length of SCSI cable you will need depends on the number of
devices to connect.
Note
For stable operations, use the recommended length of SCSI cable.
Example – when connecting 3 devices:
The total of the length of SCSI cables is 3.0 m.
• When you use a SCSI cable, use with an Ultra SCSI mode compatible high
impedance cable (characteristic impedance: 100 ± 10
Ω
).
