TOPIC


    How many SCSI Cable Extenders can I use on my SCSI chain?

DISCUSSION


    With the use of multiple SCSI Cable Extenders, a SCSI bus can safely cover a distance of up to 21 feet (seven meters) between two devices, such as a CPU and hard drive. Typically, extender cables are 1 meter in length.

    Both the Peripheral Interface Cable and the Cable Extender have a straight-through pin configuration (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.), though pins 10, 12-15, 17, 35-37, 39, 40, and 42 are not connected.
