Ultra SCSI (SCSI-5) Cables - 0.8mm Pitch VHDCI High Density Connectors, Offset Backshells
Ultra SCSI (SCSI-5) cable assemblies with 0.8 mm pitch VHDCI high-density connectors and offset backshells support reliable data connections in legacy and industrial storage environments connecting hard disk drives, storage subsystems, and SCSI-based data equipment requiring space efficiency and consistent signal performance. Featuring 68-pin VHDCI male-to-male connectors with offset backshell designs enabling adjacent side-by-side port connections without mechanical interference, these assemblies use 28 AWG stranded conductors with double shielding (aluminum mylar foil and copper braid) reducing EMI/RFI susceptibility. Available 0.5-3m lengths.

FAQs
What are Ultra SCSI VHDCI cables with offset backshells used for?
L-com ultra SCSI (SCSI-5) cable assemblies with 0.8 mm pitch VHDCI high-density connectors and offset backshells are designed to support reliable data connections in legacy and industrial storage environments. These cable assemblies are commonly used to connect hard disk drives, storage subsystems, and SCSI-based data equipment where space efficiency and consistent signal performance are required. Applications include enterprise storage systems, test and validation environments, and legacy system maintenance.
What connector configuration do Ultra SCSI VHDCI cables use?
SCSI VHDCI cables includes Ultra SCSI cables featuring 68-pin VHDCI male-to-male connectors with a compact 0.8 mm connector pitch to support high-density port layouts. Offset backshell designs allow adjacent side-by-side port connections without mechanical interference, making these assemblies suitable for dense rack, server, and chassis installations. Thumb-screw coupling mechanisms on both ends provide secure mating reducing accidental disconnections during operation.
What shielding protects Ultra SCSI VHDCI cable assemblies?
Ultra SCSI VHDCI cable assemblies protects double shielding, consisting of aluminum mylar foil and copper braid, helps reduce susceptibility to EMI and RFI in data-sensitive environments. The dual-layer shielding construction protects SCSI-5 data signals in storage subsystems and enterprise storage systems experiencing electromagnetic interference. Shielding supports reliable data transfer in hard disk drive connectivity and legacy system maintenance applications requiring signal integrity.
What cable lengths are available for Ultra SCSI VHDCI assemblies?
Ultra SCSI VHDCI cable assemblies are available in standard lengths of 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 2.0 m, and 3.0 m to support installation flexibility while maintaining consistent signal transmission across short-to-moderate distances. The length range accommodates equipment spacing in rack, server, and chassis installations connecting storage subsystems and SCSI-based data equipment. Multiple length options support enterprise storage systems and test environments with varying connection requirements.
What conductor specifications do Ultra SCSI VHDCI cables use?
Ultra SCSI VHDCI cable construction uses 28 AWG stranded conductors arranged in a round, flexible assembly with a gray PVC outer jacket. Stranded conductor construction provides flexibility for routing in dense rack and server installations connecting hard disk drives and storage subsystems. The 28 AWG gauge supports reliable signal transmission in SCSI-5 data transfer applications across available cable lengths.
What applications use Ultra SCSI-5 VHDCI cables?
L-com ultra SCSI VHDCI cables are commonly deployed in data transfer, hard disk drive connectivity, and storage system applications where SCSI-5 interfaces remain in use. Typical applications include enterprise storage systems, test and validation environments, and legacy system maintenance where dependable I/O connectivity is required. The cables support storage subsystems and SCSI-based data equipment in industrial and legacy environments requiring reliable VHDCI connectivity.
