The
LAZERLINK IV SCSI Fibre Optic Bus Extender lets you surpass
the distance limitation ofthe ultra wide single-ended,low
voltage or high voltage differential SCSI (Small Computer
System Interface) bus. With the LAZERLINK IV, SCSI peripherals
such as disk drives, CD-ROM arrays, RAID arrays, tape backup
peripherals, and scanners can be located up to 1,600 feet
(500m) from the host computer. The LAZERLINK IV supports wide
SCSI devices with data rates up to 80 MBytes/second and is
compatible with all SCSI 1, 2, and 3 SCSI devices. Disconnect
and Reselect are fully supported, to ensure complete SCSI
compatibility. Narrow SCSI devices can also be connected to
the LAZERLINK IV using standard wide to narrow cable adapters.
The SCSI bus is one of the most popular interfaces used to
connect additional devices to a computer system. SCSI firmware
and hardware enable these computers to communicate with multiple
SCSI devices and peripherals. Because LAZERLINK IV is completely
“transparent” to your SCSI system, no additional
computer software is needed for installation and operation.
A single-ended (SE) LAZERLINK IV is compatible and can operate
with a low voltage differential (LVD), or with a differential
unit (DE) to provide conversion from one bus type to the other.
A 68 pin female high density connector is provided on the
rear panel for easy installation to any host or peripheral.
Internal bus termination can be disabled for systems that
require external termination. LAZERLINK IV desk top unit contains
a universal power supply which autoranges between 100 VAC
and 240 VAC.
