Connector Types

Several different types of SCSI connectors are used on SCSI devices, and each type requires a different kind of cable. The following diagrams illustrate the different kinds of SCSI connectors:

SCSI-2 High-density 50-pin Connector

Standard MiniSCSI 1350 Connector for SCSI Perirpherals

Typically used with high-performance CD-ROM drives, hard disk drives, Jaz drives, and Plug
