A SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) cable is a type of data cable used to connect various peripheral devices, such as hard drives, scanners, and printers, to a computer. It facilitates communication between the computer and these devices, allowing for data transfer and command execution. SCSI cables can support multiple devices on a single connection and come in various forms, including parallel and serial types. Although less common today, SCSI was widely used in older computer systems for high-speed data transfer.

What SCSI standard supports the longest cable length?

The SCSI standard that supports the longest cable length is Ultra SCSI, specifically the SCSI-3 version, which can support cable lengths of up to 12 meters (approximately 39 feet) for single-ended connections. However, for differential connections, the maximum cable length can extend up to 25 meters (approximately 82 feet). This capability allows for greater flexibility in system design and component placement in larger setups.
