Wanted : SGI Fuel SCSI internal ribbon cable - Mark_G - 08-25-2021

Hello,

I'm looking for such a cable. (SGI Fuel SCSI internal ribbon cable) I'm living in Belgium.
There is actually one for sale on ebay, but the seller don't ship outside USA.
eBay item number: 324238842968
Price range :same as ebay action ( +/- 10,- EUR + handling and port cost). Can pay with PayPal or other payment method.

The use of ebay with an intermediate handler, is not my first choice.
I've got a bad experience with buying in USA that way. I lost my SGI mouse. :-(

Mark

IBM produced some servers with a similar part -- you just have to modify it slightly (IIRC, cut off an end or something.

Thanks for the reply.

However, I'm looking for the original one.

My suggestion is to be careful when it comes to searching for "OEM" type parts for rare/expensive systems like the Fuel -- because this cable was proprietary to it, it's not gonna be easy to find and you may end up having to buy a parts one JUST for the cable. That's the reality, hence why I suggested that alternative.
