I’m going a little crazy looking at pictures etc but I need to be able to connect to all of these connectors. I need to adapt a control system to 1,000’s of these.
These are connectors on a LTO6 tape drive.
The most important connector is iADT 10 pin that I’d like to break out into RJ45
Thank you for any help and have a brilliant day!
Hi Mike,
According to the Technical reference, the connector codes are:
The codes are HP’s internal stock codes that are not publicly cross-referenced. You may need to ask HPE for the mating connector’s OEM code.
According to information provided by Oracle:
HP LTO 5 and 6 drives are the only generations that are shipped with native Ethernet port. The port on the drive end is actually an iADT port, which needs a special converter cable, which comes with each library drive tray, to convert the connector to RJ45 connection.
Which suggests that you can perhaps purchase the converter cable from HPE.
Cheers,
