17 January 2004. SMS. VAXstation 3100 SCSI Cables The VAXstation 3100 uses an unusual external SCSI connector, a male, 68-pin, high-density, Honda connector. The DEC SCSI cables made for these systems are the BC09J-xx and the BC56H-xx (where "xx" is the length in feet, typically "03"). Each has a straight-out, 68-pin, female connector at one end, and a more typical, 50-pin, male, AMP ("Centronics") connector at the other end. The BC09J-xx has a right-angle 50-pin connector. The BC56H-xx has a straight-out 50-pin connector. | -----+ / |--- / | | / | | / | | / | | / | | / | | / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |--- | +------+ | | | 68-pin | | +-----+ 50-pin +---- | || `--O--+ | || | | || | BC09J | || | | || |----------------------------' || | || | || | || ,--O--+ +---- 50-pin | 68-pin ------+ / |--- +---- / | | || `--O--+ / | | || | / | | || | BC56H +---- | | || | | | | || |-----------------------| | | || | | | | || | +---- | | || | \ | | || ,--O--+ \ | | +---- \ | | \ |--- ------+ |
