Description

This page contains the most common SCSI cables that will plug into the built in 25 pin port on your Macintosh (Plus through Beige G3) or Apple II (IIe & IIGS with a SCSI Card). The connector for this port is referred to as DB25, and the port is female – it needs a cable with pins sticking out (male).

These SCSI cables are used to connect to scanners, external CD Drives and external hard drives – including Zip, Jaz, Orb and others.

Select below: All are used cables except some CN50-CN50.

• A) DB25 – DB25 M/M Cable: Most Scanners, Zip Drives and some of the early external hard drive manufacturers such as LaCie used the 25 pin ports on their devices. Also used for chaining 2 or more drives together.
• B) DB25 – CN50 M/M Cable: Most external CD Drives and hard drives have the CN50 (Centronics) ports.
• C) CN50 – CN50 M/M Cable. Centronics 50. Used to chain 2 or more drives together.
  D) CN50 – CN50 M/M Cable – NEW!
• E) CN50 M – CN50 F Cable. Centronics 50 Extension cable

While all can range from 18” to 6’ , it is easiest for me to list them as 3’ and under (most are less than 2′), and 4-6’. From a variety of manufactures, colors can be white, gray or beige.

*Note that most SCSI devices require a terminator, one Centronics version can be found here.
