Active Terminators provide a much more stable form of termination than Passive Terminators and are suitable for those longer, higher data rate SCSI cable runs. Terminators designated as 'Active' use a voltage regulator to optimize signal voltage as opposed to those designated 'Passive', which only regulate the line impedance.

At one time this was one of the most common SCSI connectors. Used for scsi-1 applications:
older scanners, controllers, external scsi device cases.
The Centronics 50 connector has 50-pins arranged in two rows one on top of the other.
The top row has 25 pins and the lower row has 25 pins. Used mostly with older 5 MB SCSI-1
Systems. Often called Low-Density SCSI-1 connector. Most SCSI SLOW (5 Mbyte/sec) computers
and host adapters use the Centronics type 50-pin connector. Also some 8-bit Fast computers
and host adapters.
- SCSI 1 - The original standard that was derived from SASI and formally adopted in 1986 by ANSI.
SCSI-1 features an 8-bit bus (with parity), running asynchronously at 3.5 MB/s or 5 MB/s
in synchronous mode, and a maximum bus cable length of 6 meters (just under 20 feet --
compare that to the 18 inch (0.45 meter) limit of the ATA interface). A variation on the
original standard included a high-voltage differential (HVD) implementation whose maximum
cable length was many times that of the single-ended versions.
