people often seem to confuse this (gabrial, help out?)
SCSI 1, 2, and 3 are COMMAND SETS
I sometimes see a cable marked as "SCSI 2"... and well I have 50 pin SCSI
1 and 50 pin SCSI 2 devices with the same cable. As far as I know the
numbers only indicate supported command sets.
This article is a good intro to SCSI, with a section on the differences
between the different types of SCSI.

Perhaps the cables you see are marked as SCSI-2 because they are rated for
the 10MHz bus speed of SCSI-2. Or perhaps the manufacturer just thought
they could charge more if they stamped "SCSI-2" on their regular 50 pin
cables... heh.
