SCSI differential to single-ended bus converter.
Asynchronous and synchronous compatible.
SCSI-1, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 compatible.
Single-ended to single-ended SCSI bus extender.
Does not occupy SCSI bus ID.

ith the SCSI Differential
Converter, you get two great functions with one product. The SCSI Differential Converter translates single-ended SCSI bus signals into differential signals and vice versa. And it can be used as a single-ended to single-ended bus extender system up to 121 feet (36.9 meters). Just inter­connect two of the units.
The SCSI Differential Converter is highly compatible. It’s a popular choice for high-speed interconnection media between micro, mini, and mainframe computers and high-performance peripherals. And it’s compatible with most host adapters and peripherals that conform to ANSI X3.131 and X3T9.2 specifications.

Key Features
SCSI DIFFERENTIAL CONVERTER
cations link of standard SCSI bus interfaces. And remember that peripherals with high-speed data throughput usually need a differential interface to operate over longer cable lengths. The SCSI Differential Converter gives you increased noise immunity, while maintaining signal integrity over extended distances.
The SCSI Differential Converter contains an internal active bus terminator which improves cable-matching characteristics. Remove it for added flexibility.
Extend the working distance of high-speed host-to-host computers, get remote high­resolution graphics, and store data. The SCSI Differential Converter provides ideal solutions for high-speed remote data communications.
Installation is easy. It’s completely transparent to all SCSI-1, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 commands and doesn’t require a SCSI device address. And it can be installed anywhere on the bus to provide the bus conversion you need.
Translates single-ended SCSI bus signals into differential bus signals or vice versa, or use two units as a single-ended to single-ended bus extender.

T
he SCSI Differential Converter interfaces directly with SCSI interface adapters used in PCs, VME, DEC™, Sun
®
, EISA, and Macintosh®host computers. It also extends the working distance to disk drives, CD-ROM memory systems, and tape backup peripherals.
Single-ended and differential device termination meets ANSI X3.131 and Z3T9.2 specifications. And proprietary switching logic enables the SCSI Differential Converter to maintain complete SCSI command functionality.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a
vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application.
Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
