Choosing Cables and
Connectors
This section describes the cables and connectors to use with
the SDLT 600 tape drive.
SCSI Cables and Connectors
SCSI versions of the SDLT 600 tape drive have two high-
density 68-pin SCSI connectors. Connect the tape drive to
the host computer using a SCSI cable with the correct type of
connector on each end. The tape drive operates best when the
host computer and host end of the cable have one of the
following types of connector.
High-density 68-pin Micro DB68 or Mini DB68
SCA 80-pin Hot Swap Connector
Very High-density Interconnect Connector
The tape drive will, however, operate with other host-end
connectors.

Fibre Channel Cables and Connectors

Fibre Channel versions of the SDLT 600 tape drive
(internal model only) have one Fibre Channel port. The Fibre
Channel port is equipped with a Small Form-factor,
Pluggable (SFP) converter for connecting the fiber optic
cable. You may have to supply the SFP for the other end of
the cable; some host bus adapters have the transceiver
already built in to the adapter, in which case, you do not have
to supply the SFP for the other end of the cable.
Both ends of the cable require a transceiver.
