InLine SCSI SCA U320 Adapter 80 Pin female / 68 Pin female

This internal SCSI–SCA adapter (InLine SCSI SCA U320 Adapter 80 Pin female / 68 Pin female, MPN 82680) converts an 80‑pin Centronics U320 / LVD SCA connector to a 68‑pin internal SCSI flat cable connection. All jumper settings and power supply routing are handled via the connectors on the adapter board, enabling integration of Ultra320 SCSI drives into systems that use standard internal SCSI ribbon cables. The product is available in black and green.

Advantages

The adapter supports Ultra320 (U320) SCSI signalling and provides a compact board-level solution for connecting SCA hard drives to 68‑pin internal SCSI cabling. Because jumpers and power are accessed through the adapter connectors, installation does not require additional wiring. Its board-mounted design is suitable for server or workstation internal mounting and reduces the need for custom cables or separate power pigtails.

Suitable for

• Connecting 80‑pin Centronics U320 / LVD SCA hard drives to 68‑pin internal SCSI ribbon cables
• Integrating SCA drives into servers, workstations, or storage arrays that use internal 68‑pin SCSI connections
• Replacing or adapting SCA drive connections during maintenance or upgrades

How to use

Mount the adapter board inside the system near the drive bay, then connect the 80‑pin SCA connector of the hard disk to the adapter's Centronics U320 female connector. Attach a standard 68‑pin internal SCSI ribbon cable to the adapter's 68‑pin female connector and route it to the SCSI controller or bus. Verify jumper positions and power routing via the adapter connectors as required by the drive's documentation before powering the system.

Recommendations

Ensure the system is powered off and grounded before installing the adapter. Consult the SCA drive documentation for correct jumper and terminator settings. Use appropriate internal SCSI ribbon cables and maintain correct termination on the SCSI bus to avoid signal issues.
