The maximum SCSI bus length between the terminators for a SCSI LVD
The maximum SCSI bus length between the terminators for a SCSI LVD multidrop system (up to 16 total SCSI devices) is 12 meters (39.37 feet). However, implementation of this

9.8Terminator requirements
Caution: These drives do not have onboard internal terminators. The user, systems integrator or host equip- ment manufacturer must provide a terminator arrangement external to the drive when termination is required. For LW/LWV drives, use terminator modules that plug between the SCSI I/O cable and the drive I/O connector or on the end of a short I/O cable stub extending past the last cable connec- tor. LC/LCV drives are designed to be plugged into a backpanel connector without cabling.
