SCSI Cable 50-Pin Centronics to DB25 Male 5.5 ft AWM E89980 Style 2464 300V

SCSI Cable 50-Pin Centronics to DB25 Male 5.5 ft AWM E89980 Style 2464 300V

This is a full-pitch 50-pin Centronics male to DB25 male external SCSI cable, approximately 5.5 feet (roughly 1.68 m) in length. The cable jacket is marked AWM E89980, Style 2464, rated at 300V and 80°C, with 28 AWG conductors and a PU (polyurethane) jacket — construction typical of a quality external SCSI cable built to UL AWM standards.

Applications

This cable connects a host system with a DB25 SCSI port to an external 50-pin Centronics SCSI peripheral. The DB25 SCSI host port was common on Apple Macintosh computers from the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s, as well as on some PC-based SCSI host adapters and Sun workstations of that era. The 50-pin Centronics connector on the other end is the standard external connector for SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 devices including external hard drives, tape drives, scanners, CD-ROM drives, and removable media drives such as the Iomega Zip and SyQuest units that were common in that period. These cables remain in demand for legacy Mac systems, vintage SCSI scanners (including many Microtek, UMAX, and Epson flatbeds), and older external storage still used in archival, graphics, and audio production workflows that rely on period-correct hardware.
