Cable Length Requirements for Differential
Configurations
For differential SCSI configurations, ensure that the sum of
all the SCSI cable lengths does not exceed 25.0 meters
(82.02 feet). A stub length of no more than 0.2 meters
(8 inches) is allowed off the mainline interconnection within
any connected equipment. The stub length within the tape
drive is less than 50 mm (1.97 inches).
Cable Length Requirements for Single-Ended
Configurations
For single-ended SCSI configurations, ensure that the sum of
all the SCSI cable lengths does not exceed 6.0 meters (19.68
feet). A stub length of no more than 0.1 meters (4 inches) is
allowed off the mainline interconnection within any
connected equipment. The stub length within the tape drive
is less than 50 mm (1.97 inches).
SCSI Connector
To connect the tape drive to the SCSI bus, use a 50-pin
female ribbon cable connector (AMP™ No. 1-746285-0 or
equivalent). The tape drive’s SCSI connector is located at the
rear of the tape drive. The connector is a 50-pin male ribbon
cable connector, consisting of two rows of 25 pins with
adjacent pins 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) apart. For information
about the specific SCSI connector pin assignments for
differential and single-ended tape drives, refer to the
EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 Product Specification.
