10.6.3SCSI interface cable requirements
The characteristics of cables used to connect parallel interface drives are discussed in the ANSI standards ref- erenced in this section.
10.6.3.1Cable requirements
The characteristics of cables used to connect Ultra320 SCSI parallel interface devices are discussed in detail in Section 6 of ANSI Standard T10/1365D Rev. 3. The cable characteristics that must be considered when interconnecting the drives described in this manual in a Ultra320 SCSI parallel,
•characteristic impedance (see T10/1365D Sections 6.3.3 and 6.3.4)
•propagation delay (see T10/1365D Sections 6.3.6 and 6.3.7)
•stub length (see T10/1365D Section 6.9)
•device spacing (see T10/1365D Section 6.9)
To minimize discontinuances and signal reflections, cables of different impedances should not be used in the same bus. Implementations may require
Note. For LVD operation, twisted pair cables are recommended. For LVD
