Description: Look at what has to be done to get some cables to work! If you can't see your drive on your system, then it doesn't mean that its faulty! Picture Stats: Views: 2215 Filesize: 53.41kB Height: 768 Width: 1024 Posted by: Hodgkinson at August 21, 2006, 04:34:41 PM Image Linking Codes

(BTW, you are supposed to crimp ONLY that type of UTP, not the full copper one) IIRC, SCSI is very sensitive to cable lengths because of reflections, 'ringing', etc so you should avoid modifying the cable in any way. |

Unfortunatly, SCSI cables are a little thin on the ground, espicially the ones such as a the one shown with the 3x SCSI plugs. => Butcher a network cable? If you're thinking that the wire i've used looks like the same colour code as if it came from a network cable, then you'd be right. I don't know where that wire originally came from (Would I even need to know???), but its too thin for networking cable wires, and its multi-stranded. But because its thin it solders nicely to the HDD connector. |
