SCSI CABLE LENGTH

The SCSI specification states that the total length of the SCSI chain must not exceed 6 metres.

“Total length” means the length of the whole chain between the first and the last device and

not the length of the cable between each of devices. SCSI chains that are longer than the

specified length may cause data errors and possibly corruption of data.
