NEW SCSI High Voltage Differential SCSI to Wide Single ended SCSI Bus Converter, Out in the warehouse I came across a box Of these.

This auction is for one NEW,  Paralan Corp. PN: 5870  AKA: SD16B / SD17B

Single-Ended to/from Differential (HVD) to SCSI (Fast/20)

SCSI devices typically use either Single-Ended (SE) or Differential (HVD) interfaces, which cannot be mixed on the same bus. Paralan SD converters allow interconnection of these two interfaces. By using  Paralan  SD converters, a SCSI Host Bus Adapter with a Single-Ended (or HVD) interface can communicate with a mix of peripherals, some with Single-Ended, and some with Differential (HVD) interfaces. The SD converters can also be used in RAID environments or jukeboxes to isolate the internal and external SCSI bus segments. The SD converter operates bi-directionally.

 

Paralan  SD converters can also be used as inexpensive SCSI bus extenders. All signals on  Paralan  SD converters are received and subsequently regenerated, thus allowing extension of the maximum cable length. To achieve maximum transfer rates, the SCSI specification recommends a maximum cable length of 6 meters (SE) or 25 meters (HVD). By using the Paralan  SD converters, users can extend those distances and still achieve high transfer rates. For example, with two SED converters connected back-to-back, the length of the SE Fast/10 SCSI bus can be extended by another 25 meters (HVD branch) plus 6 meters (the second SE branch) to a total of 37 meters.

   
HIGHLIGHTS

SCSI-1, 2, or UltraSCSI NARROW/WIDE (16-bit) support

Automatic operation, no programming or setup required

Support for Synchronous or Asynchronous transfer, arbitration, parity, disconnect/reconnect, and mix of SCSI targets and initiators on either side

SCSI bus termination is built in, enabled by DIP switch

CE / FCC class B certified

 
ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Support for all transfer rates, including Fast/10 and Fast/20 (20 MHz 'UltraSCSI')

SCSI bus termination is built in; SE side with active terminator, HVD side with a resistor terminator, both enabled individually by DIP switch

TERMPWR to SCSI connectors (enabled by jumpers), fused by circuit breaker

Uses external +5 Volt power supply (NOT-included)

SCSI-2 FAST/20 SUPPORT

Internally the 'UltraSCSI' version uses resynchronizing circuitry, eliminating signal skew on the data bus and the REQ or ACK. The REQ and ACK signals, if narrower than permitted in the SCSI-3 specification, are always latched and regenerated to 15 nanosecond minimum width. The data is then repositioned relative to the REQ or ACK strobes.

The SED616M, if used in NARROW and FAST/20 mode, provides 20 Mbytes throughput in the data phases. If used in WIDE and FAST/20 mode, it provides up to 40 Mbytes throughput.

CE & FCC CERTIFICATION

The SD-16B is CE/FCC class B certified.
