ABSTRACT:
A small computer system interface (SCSI) bus between a host system and one or more peripheral devices is terminated at one end of the SCSI bus, proximal to the host system, and at the other end of the SCSI bus by a loopback terminator. The loopback terminator is formed by a signal board with one connector that is adapted for receiving signals from the SCSI bus, a multiconductor cable having a pair of ends, a pair of cable connectors, each of which is adapted to mate with respective ends of the multiconductor cable, and a terminator coupled to one of the cable connectors. One or more of the peripheral devices are connected to the multiconductor cable via respective nodes, and the multiconductor cable is routed back to the signal board coupled to form a "loop" between the pair of cable connectors.
