3.4.2. SCSI Cables and Connectors
To select the proper SCSI cable, check your computer to see which connector it uses. Note
that your CD-RW drive uses an HD50 Female connector so that whatever cable you use will
need to have an HD50 Male connector on at least one end.
HD50 Connector: This connector will be found on your CD-RW drive. It is also found on
many newer SCSI controller cards and other SCSI peripherals. If the connector on you
computer looks like the one pictured below, you will need an HD50 Male to HD50 Male
(may also be called a SCSI-2 Male to SCSI-2 Male).
DB25: This connector will be found on Macintosh computers and some SCSI controller
cards used in PCs. If the connector on your computer looks like the one pictured below,
you will need a DB25 Male to HD50 Male.
Centronics 50-Pin: This connector will be found on many other external SCSI devices. If
you plan to “daisy-chain” your CD-RW drive to another peripheral device, you will need a
Centronics 50-pin to HD50 Male.
HDI-30: This small, square connector (not pictured) is used on Macintosh PowerBook computers.
