SCSI cable
• The connector of SCSI cables or SCSI interface cards varies. A SCSI cable with proper
connectors for both the CRW3200SX drive and the SCSI interface card is required.
SCSI connector of the CRW3200SX drive is D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type.

Half-pitch 50-pin Centronics
• The maximum total length of the SCSI cables depends on the number of external
SCSI devices connected to the computer.
For proper operation, connecting the devices with isometric SCSI cables is
recommended. (An example of connection: connecting 3 external SCSI devices)
• An Ultra SCSI mode compatible high impedance cable (characteristic impedance: 100
± 10
Ω
) is required.
