Look how few lines a PCI-Express card has. (per lane) That's what's

Purely out of
curiosity, is anyone aware of the possible existence
of LVD/SE SCSI (e.g. HD68) over UTP (RJ45) extenders? I'm aware
that one normally goes for FC, or a SCSI<=>FC bridge, but those
tend to be rather pricey.
If you mean actually electrically extending SCSI, I haven't seen such
a thing. I guess my first question would be: how many wires, out of
the 50 or more pins present on its connectors, does SCSI use? If it's
more than the eight in an RJ45-ended cable, then I don't see how it
would work.
