Manufacturer's product description
When John Atanasoff constructed the first semi-electronic digital computing device in 1939 he never could have imagined that over sixty years later, Belkin components would carry every SCSI cable imaginable. The Ultra Micro Centronics 68 (VHDCI) Male to Centronics 50 Male Pro Series (fast and wide) SCSI III Cable is used to interface any two SCSI devices, such as a storage device, wherein one has an Ultra Micro Centronics 68 female port and the other has a Centronics 50 female port.
Advantages: Good cable, Disadvantages: Quite pricey
...Network cables are maybe not the first thing you think of when considering a network but they should be.
You can have a super fast router but if your cable isnt up to it, then why bother. Belkin are the standard setters in the network cable world. If you want top quality then you buy belkin. So if your considering sharing an internet connection to play games etc then you really need decent cable.
However, if like me you only share your connection for browsing and downloading, then you don't really need this kind of high quality cable. I personally have cable running that I bought for £2.14 for a 15m cable (that includes the connectors on the end). For internet browsing etc this is fine.
In conclusion, if you need speed and low ping times then belkin is the way to go. You can even use the snagless cable to allow easier running...

Advantages: Convenient, fast and reliable Disadvantages: Expensive for what you get
...The Belkin ADSL Router with built in modem allows both wireless and wired cables to connect to the internet and function as part of a network.
With a network, computers connected to it can share files and resources such as printers. An internet connection can also be shared which is the main benefit of this router because an ADSL modem is built in.
The built in ADSL modem makes the router expensive. That and because it features the new 802.11g connection standard makes its retail price at £100.
A wireless 54g router on its own without the built in modem can be purchased online for about £50.
Setting up the router is easy. The web based setup interface includes a wizard so you just have to enter the required information (obtainable from your ISP) and everything is set up within a few minutes or so.
The only criticism about the Belkin...

Advantages: A bargain. Easy to install and used. Good entry level SCSI controller. Disadvantages: No support for higher data rates.
...If you plug an SCSI card into your pc, don’t hold your breath because nothing exciting is going to happen. (Unless of course you have made a very bad job of installing the card. Then you might see smoke and flames coming from your cherished/reviled PC or even, in extreme cases, find yourself moving down a tunnel towards a bright light.) However, once you have installed you SCSI card you will be able to attach any number of exciting devices to your pc.
Although this is an opinion of Adaptecs AVA-2900 series of SCSI card, it is also a general review of SCSI. I have done this because as far as I can tell this is the first review at Ciao of a SCSI controller card. This seems to be a bit of an over sight to me as any number of SCSI devices have been reviewed, (such as the excellent Plextor externalSCSI cd writer which was the subject...
