pins. These adapters are sometimes labeled

Make sure the total length of the SCSI bus does not exceed the ANSI SCSI 

standard of 19 feet (6 meters) for an SE SCSI bus, 40 feet (12 meters) for an 

LVD SCSI bus with multiple devices, or 82 feet (25 meters) for an LVD 

SCSI bus with a single device.
