- SCSI defines many different modes of operation, including several different data transfer modes and cable length limits.
- The most common modes are shown below.
- Additional information can be found in IBM Redbooks Web site.
| Mode | Bandwidth | Frequency | Max transfer rate | Max cable length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCSI | 8-bit | 5 MHz | 5 MBps | 6 meters |
| Fast SCSI | 8-bit | 10 MHz | 10 MBps | 3 meters |
| Fast/Wide SCSI | 16-bit | 10 MHz | 20 MBps | 3 meters |
| Ultra SCSI | 8-bit | 20 MHz | 20 MBps | 1.5 meters |
| Wide Ultra SCSI | 16-bit | 20 MHz | 40 MBps | 1.5 meters |
| Ultra2 SCSI | 8-bit | 40 MHz | 40 MBps | 12 meters (LVDS) |
| Fast/Wide Ultra2 SCSI | 16-bit | 40 MHz | 80 MBps | 12 meters (LVDS) |
Note: The Max Cable Length refers to the length of the SCSI cable without the use of a SCSI repeater and using the LVDS interface for Ultra2 and Wide Ultra2 with multiple devices on the bus.
