>From the SCSI standard, X3T9.2:

4.2.1 Single-Ended Cable.  A 50-conductor flat cable or 25-signal twisted-
pair cable shall be used. The maximum cable length shall be 6.0 meters.

A stub length of no more than 0.1 meters is allowed off the mainline
interconnection within any connected equipment.

SCSI bus termination may be internal to the SCSI devices that are at the
ends of the cable.



Note: The 6 meters (20 ft) length is the TOTAL length of all SCSI cable,
should you happen to have more than one device. Good luck!
