Extra Long 52 inch 40-Pin 40-Wire IDE 3-Connector Flat Ribbon Cable FI-252 NEW

Description: 52 inch 40-Pin IDE Single Drive Flat Ribbon Cable IDE cables transmit data between an IDE device and a motherboard. Specifications: 40-Pin / 40-Wire Female to Female IDE Hard Dives CableConnect 2 IDE devices / drives to controller (motherboard)Total Length: 52 inches, (40-inch from host to 1st device connector, 12-inch from 1st device to end)ROHS Compliant40 Wires IDE Cables On the slower older 40-wire ATA cables, the Master device, usually a CD-ROM or CD-ROM recorder/burner still goes on the END, but you need to set the jumpers as Slave. Did you ever buy a new CDROM or CDROM burner, open up the package and see that the jumper was already on the Slave position? It's that way for a reason. This is true even if you don't have a hard drive in the Master position. The Master for 40-wire cables goes on the the Middle connector. Only older computers (the AT type) have a problem here, and again, you should read the manual that came with the motherboard or contact the maker of the system. You could try it as a Master and it may work but that's not the way it should be. If you want to use the cable select with the older drive on a 40-wire cable, you'll have to consult the maker of the drive for the instructions. My sources tell me that there was a loose standard to put the Master drive on the end of the 40-wire cable and the Slave in the middle but that was a very loose standard. Makers I spoke to (IBM, Maxtor, etc.) informed me that the user should set the drive using the Master and Slave jumpers on the hard drive, placing the Master in the middle and the Slave on the end. Dats Dat.
