This annex is included to explain the skew budget for the fast SCSI option which is defined in Clause 4.
Synchronous transfer rates using a transfer period between 100 ns and 200 ns are known as the fast SCSI option. Fast data transfer times have been tested using the following skew budget (see table B.1) with the differential alternative using transceivers with 25 m of 0,080 42 mm2 (28 AWG) twisted pair cable as specified in 5.2.3. The transceivers were subjected to a maximum temperature difference of 25 degrees C and a maximum of 200 mV of VCC difference.

Mapping the above jitter or skew budget to the SCSI format in 5.8 is done in Table B.2.
