All SCSI specs specify not only a maximum cable length, but also a minimum
(and maximum for some specs, I believe) inter-device spacing i.e. devices
must be x meters apart.  scsifaq.org has some info on this as to the exact
what/why/how of the requirement.  It all comes down to the fact that SCSI
is a bus, not just an interconnect, so impedance matching, electrical
reflections, etc... are important to maintain timing and such.
