Note: " * "Laminated Sub-MicroQuick Twist"and the "MQT" family are considered Non Uniform Media as defined in Section 6.3.1 of the SPI-3 & SPI-4 document. Since it is listed as a non-uniform media, not all electrical properties will be met, due in part to the construciton of the cable. Electrical properties like Propagation Time Skew and Attenuation may fall outside of the industry spec. This would also be true if you took a round SCSI cable and terminated the cable. After the cable leaves its manufactured state, the electrical properties can be greatly diminished.
