- <p>Micro ribbon or miniature ribbon connectors have a similar shielded design to the D-sub family of connectors, but used a different kind of contact known as ribbon contacts rather than pin contacts. There are various configurations that were used with Parallel SCSI but the most common variety was a 50-contact micro-ribbon connector.

+ <p>The Very High Density Cable Interconnect (VDHCI) connector had 68 pins, in a micro-ribbon contact design closely resembling the 50-pin micro-ribbon connectors in appearance (the extra pins allowed for 16-bit/2-byte transmission included in later SCSI standards rather than the original 8-bit). Typically seen with external mass storage devices like RAID units.</p>
