Not suitable for multiple SCSI devices or long cables because there are only 30 pins. An electronic product designed to convert between single-ended and differential SCSI signals. Allows placement of single-ended devices on a bus connected to a differential host and vice versa. The wires in a cable are located in very close proximity to each other. This results in a signal in one wire inducing smaller signals in the adjacent wires.
Crosstalk can be a problem for SCSI transmissions at higher speeds or over long distances.
A good cable quality and the proper layout of the wires inside the cable can minimize the effects of crosstalk. In the world of SCSI, a device is an electronic unit that is connected to the SCSI bus and either submits SCSI commands or carries them out. It is identified by its SCSI ID and can act as an initiator or a target. Differential SCSI Refers to the manner in which the SCSI cable is driven by the host and peripheral devices. Differential SCSI drives two signal lines.
