Product Features
Technical Overview
This SCSI data transfer cable utilizes VHDCI (Very High Density Cable Interconnect) connectors, which provide 68-pin high-density interfaces designed for SCSI-3 and Ultra SCSI applications. The 12-foot length offers flexibility in deployment, allowing connection between devices that may be positioned at moderate distances within server racks or equipment cabinets.
The male connectors on both ends ensure direct compatibility with female VHDCI ports on storage arrays, servers, and legacy SCSI peripherals. The cable's construction minimizes crosstalk and signal degradation, supporting data transfer rates appropriate for SCSI protocols.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Limited Warranty, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What type of devices is this VHDCI-VHDCI cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with devices featuring female VHDCI ports that support SCSI protocols. Common applications include connecting external SCSI storage arrays, servers with SCSI interfaces, legacy tape drives, and certain industrial imaging equipment. The 68-pin VHDCI connector is designed for high-density applications where space is limited but reliable data transfer is essential.
What is the advantage of the offset connector design?
The offset connector design helps manage cable routing in tight spaces, particularly in rack-mounted configurations. It reduces strain on port connections by allowing the cable to exit at an angle rather than straight out, which can prevent connector damage and improve airflow management. This design is especially valuable in densely packed server racks where cable organization impacts both reliability and cooling efficiency.
What SCSI protocols does this cable support?
This VHDCI-VHDCI cable supports SCSI-3 and Ultra SCSI protocols, which are common in enterprise storage and server environments. The 68-pin VHDCI interface is designed to handle the data transfer requirements of these protocols while maintaining signal integrity across the 12-foot cable length. It is suitable for applications requiring reliable parallel SCSI connectivity between compatible devices.
Is this cable suitable for rack-mounted installations?
Yes, this cable is well-suited for rack-mounted installations. The 12-foot length provides adequate reach for connections within standard server racks, while the offset design facilitates clean cable routing through management channels. The durable construction withstands the physical demands of data center environments, and the VHDCI connectors maintain secure connections even in vibration-prone rack configurations.
What warranty coverage does this Axiom cable include?
Axiom provides a lifetime limited warranty for this VHDCI-VHDCI SCSI data transfer cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance for enterprise deployments. The warranty reflects the cable's durable construction and Axiom's commitment to reliability in data center connectivity solutions.
How does the 12-foot length compare to other SCSI cable options?
The 12-foot (3.66 m) length offers a balanced solution for most rack-to-rack and within-rack connections. It provides sufficient reach to connect devices separated by moderate distances without excessive cable slack that can complicate management. This length is particularly useful in standard server rack configurations where devices may be mounted in different positions while still requiring direct SCSI connectivity for optimal performance.
