ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment of a two-channel SCSI-compatible interconnection system and method, a dielectric material into which SCSI data and control signal carrying wires are embedded frees ground wires in the SCSI cable to carry first and second SCSI channels so that one conventional SCSI cable and cable connector can support two separate SCSI channels without signal ground wires. In another embodiment of a two-channel SCSI compatible interconnection system and method, a high-density, 100 position dual channel SCSI connector having connector positions doubled in number and spaced at halved intervals relative to a conventional SCSI cable connector supports two separate SCSI channels. In this embodiment, a single one hundred (100) wire SCSI cable or two (2) fifty (50) wire SCSI cables may be attached to the high-density dual channel SCSI connector. In all embodiments, the SCSI channel handling capability is effectively doubled over the heretofore known SCSI connectors for a given connector size or footprint.
