Single-Ended Interface
One of the SCSI bus electrical signal configurations. On a single-ended configuration, each signal is carried by a signal wire. Single-ended buses are more susceptible to noise than differential buses. Traditionally, a single-ended interface was designed to use fewer (as compared to a differential configuration) pins, chips and PCB area. It cost less, was smaller, but it also is more sensitive to noise, more restrictive in physical devices spacing, and more restrictive in length (up to 6 meters). Single-ended interfaces are generally found inside subsystems that use SCSI to interconnect internal components (for example RAID arrays).

Product Description |
|

Active - can also be referred to as "regulated" or "Alt-II, a regulated voltage level to the terminating resistors is supplied by a voltage regulator circuit incorporated in the Terminator. Active is well known for being much more reliable than a Passive Terminator, and best used on FAST SCSI devices.

Passive - this is now known as the low performance SCSI Terminators, comes with 220/330 ohm terminating resistors. It is Commonly used on SCSI-1 and the slower SCSI-2
