APCON's SCSI Booster extends fast, wide and ultra SCSI distances.WILSONVILLE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 1995--APCON Inc. is proud to announce a breakthrough in SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. technology. APCON APCON Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria APCON American Power Conversion, Inc has developed a SCSI Booster that breaks down SCSI distance barriers for narrow, fast, wide and ultra SCSI The designation for various high-speed SCSI interfaces. The original specification was Ultra SCSI, followed by Ultra2, Ultra3, etc. For details, see SCSI. . The ACI-2016 SCSI Booster allows Small Computer System Interface users to extend the distance of any single-ended SCSI bus. The ACI-2016 allows users to double their SCSI cable distance. Without the Booster, peripherals and storage devices must be located within six meters of the computer for SCSI 1 devices, three meters for fast SCSI A SCSI interface that transfers at 10 Mbytes/sec rather than 5 Mbytes/sec. The maximum cable length is 9.8 feet. See SCSI. (hardware) Fast SCSI - A variant on the SCSI-2 bus. It uses the same 8-bit bus as the original SCSI-1 but runs at up to 10MB/s - double the speed of SCSI-1. and 1.5 meters for ultra SCSI devices. Three Boosters can be linked in succession to quadruple SCSI bus distances. The Booster is the only SCSI extension device to support ultra SCSI. It supports extended data transmissions of up to 40 Mbytes a second. The Booster regenerates and conditions all SCSI bus signals to improve computer and peripheral performance. It eliminates crashes caused by poor quality SCSI cables, improper device termination or noisy peripherals. The SCSI Booster is completely transparent to the user and does not require a SCSI device address. Installation is simple and can take place at any point along the SCSI bus. Power for the unit is provided through a plug-in wall adapter. The unit is small and can be placed virtually anywhere. A machined aluminum casing guarantees durability and prevents accidental damage. The ACI-2016 starts at $295. In addition to the ACI-2016, APCON offers a complete line of SCSI enhancement products. APCON is the leading innovator in SCSI technology and high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. network solutions.
