A Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) cable is a type of interface standard used for connecting external drives and other peripheral devices to a computer. Due to multiple connector shapes, it is important to select a SCSI cable that matches the device's connector type. Common connectors include D-Sub 25-pin, 50-pin, 68-pin, and half-pitch 50-pin.
SCSI cables are utilized following the SCSI standard, developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). They are used to connect devices like hard disks, DVD drives, and printers to a computer's main body. SCSI connections can be complex, involving setting IDs for multiple devices. Due to their complexity and the emergence of USB connections, many modern PCs do not include SCSI ports.
SCSI is a standard for data exchange between a computer and peripheral devices, with variations like parallel SCSI, SCSI-1, and SCSI-2. Devices compatible with parallel SCSI (with two SCSI connectors) can connect up to seven devices using daisy-chain connections. The number of connectable devices and transfer rates depends on the cable type. Cable length impacts operational stability, with shorter lengths typically providing more stable performance. SCSI-3 cables offer both serial and parallel transfers. Internal flat cables are also available for internal SCSI connections within PCs. However, SCSI has been largely replaced by USB in general-purpose PCs.
SCSI cables have various connector shapes based on the standard. Early SCSI-1 used 50-pin A and 68-pin B connectors, while SCSI-2 adopted a D-sub 50-pin half-pitch connector. Apple's Macintosh initially used a unique D-sub 25-pin connector. As the SCSI standard only recommended shapes, manufacturers developed various connectors, leading to compatibility issues.
While SCSI cables have become less common, the SCSI standard protocol is still used in communication methods like ATA, SATA, USB, and Fibre Channel. SCSI commands are employed for device inquiries, data reading, and writing.
The decreasing use of SCSI cables is attributed to various drawbacks, such as manufacturers developing unique formats, high costs, outdated transfer speeds, and difficulty in miniaturizing due to the large number of connector pins. The emergence of compact, high-speed interfaces like ATA and SATA led to the decline of SCSI cables in usage.
