The SCSI-3 Standard defined the Single-Ended 'Q' cable. The Single-Ended Q-cable is used to provide wide-SCSI. The pinout for the Q cable is listed in the table below. Information on other SCSI cables or detailed descriptions of the different SCSI standards are provided by links after the pin out table. The main SCSI page is listed on the SCSI Bus Description page.

The "A" cable is used with SCSI-1, SCSI-2, or SCSI-3 to provide "FAST"
SCSI with an 8 bit [Parallel] data bus. Refer here for the main SCSI Bus page.
With SCSI-2 the "A" may be used
alone or with the "B" cable to provide "WIDE" SCSI allowing a 16 or 32
bit data bus. The pin-out for the 'A' cable is listed on the SCSI
Bus 'A' connector page.
The "B" Single-Ended cable pinout is listed on the SCSI Bus 'B' connector page.
On SCSI-3, the "A" cable may
be used for an 8 bit data bus. However the new "P" cable is used to
provide a 16 bit data path (wide SCSI). To allow 32 bits of data the "P"
cable is combined with another new cable called "Q" (wide SCSI). The "Q"
cable pin-out [Single-Ended Data] is listed above, see SCSI Bus 'Q' Differential
connector page. The pin-out for the 'P' cable is listed on the
SCSI Bus 'P' connector page.
Back to the main SCSI Interface Bus page
The SCSI [parallel] bus width is either 8 bits or 16 bits [Wide bus].
Also the bus may be either Single ended or Differential; however the two
are mutually exclusive SCSI is a chained parallel bus, cables start at
the Host and run from device to device in a chain. SCSI may be used for
asynchronous and synchronous transfers; Asynchronous transfers using
Start and Stop bits and synchronous transfers using system timing
(Hand-Shaking). The data bus also carries one parity bit.
