SCSI Cable Ratings

[Guest]

What am I missing here? All the internal SCSI3 LVD cables I've found are rated at 80Mbytes/sec transfer rate. Shouldn't these be rated at 160Mbytes/sec?

As far as I know SCSI-2 LVD cables are different from SCSI-3 LVD cables <A HREF="http://ask.adaptec.com/cgi-bin/adaptec_tic.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=dt1wro8g&p_lva=&p_refno=010418-000006&p_created=987619338&p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTQzJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9TFZEIENhYmxlcyByYXRpbmcmcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT0zJnBfcHJvZF9sdmwxPTI4JnBfcHJvZF9sdmwyPX5hbnl_JnBfY2F0X2x2bDE9MiZwX3NvcnRfYnk9ZGZsdCZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=" target="_new">link</A> and <A HREF="http://ask.adaptec.com/cgi-bin/adaptec_tic.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=vUhfzo8g&p_lva=&p_refno=010725-000006&p_created=996100150&p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTQwJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9TFZEIFVsdHJhLTIgY2FibGUmcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT0zJnBfcHJvZF9sdmwxPTI4JnBfcHJvZF9sdmwyPX5hbnl_JnBfY2F0X2x2bDE9MTAmcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQmcF9wYWdlPTE*&p_li=" target="_new">link</A> so to make sure you are using the correct cables, use only the p/n for the cable of either SCSI-3/SCSI-2 LVD kits.

The SCSI-3 Ultra160 LVD cable p/n: <A HREF="http://www.adaptecstore.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry10?V1=251829&PN=1&SP=10023&xid=14948&DSP=&CUR=840&PGRP=0&CACHE_ID=29400" target="_new">ACK-68I5-LVD CBL Kit</A> (5 position)

SCSI rates:

u 20MB
uw 40MB
u2 40MB
u2w 80MB
u3W 160MB


if you know you don't know, the way could be more easy.

Great! I was wondering what those meant also.
