Abstract:

A cable assembly for efficiently connecting together SCSI devices and multi-channel adapters. The cable assembly includes a plurality of cables clamped together by a pass-thru bulkhead assembly, so that the cables can pass through the bulkhead of a cabinet to a multi-channel adapter mounted inside the cabinet. The cables electrically connect to the multi-channel adapter using low profile connectors to maximize the number of connectors that can couple to the adapter and to minimize the amount of clearance required between adapters in the cabinet.

Abstract:

A cable connector gender changer for SCSI cables allows a male cable connector to connect to another male cable connector. The cable connector gender changer comprises a first metal socket connectable to the male cable connector, a second metal socket connectable to another male cable connector, an intermediate portion for connecting the first and second metal sockets, and a plurality of electrical connections extending from the first metal socket to the second metal socket through the intermediate portion. The dimensions of the sockets comply with SCSI standards, so they can mate with standard SCSI cable connectors. The gender changer has a continuous EMI shield from one socket to the other and is post-molded for appearance.
