LOW VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SCSI CABLES
 

Building on its long tradition of industry leadership in SCSI cable technology, we are prototyping and manufacturing low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI cables. Please contact our Sales or Technical Support group with your specific LVD SCSI cable requirements.

The low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI standard is being developed by the X3T10 SCSI Parallel Interface 2 (SPI-2) working group charged with extending the viability of parallel SCSI I/O technology into the twenty-first century. LVD is a robust design methodology that improves power consumption, data integrity, cable lengths and support for multiple devices, while providing a migration path for  increased I/O performance.

The new SCSI standard reduces the power needed to drive the bus, lowers the amplitude of noise reflections, and allows for higher transmission frequencies. The differential  signaling does an excellent job of canceling out signal noise due to external sources allowing systems to utilize up to 12 meter cable lengths while attaching up to 16 devices to an LVD SCSI bus.
