Dual & Single

English term or phrase: Dual & Single
Dual IDE drive 40-conductor ribbon cable.
Single IDE drive 40-conductor ribbon cable.

IT cables for IDE drives.

How is the best way of translating these two terms "dual" and "single" in this context?

In another section, they talk about FDD Floppy Round Cables. And one description for this type of cable reads as follows:

Red, single drive, 25 cm/10 in.
Glow in the dark, dual drive, 45 cm/18 in.

Is the translation of dual and single in the above context the same?

Many thanks...

Explanation:
Dual IDE drive 40-conductor ribbon cable.
Single IDE drive 40-conductor ribbon cable

Cable IDE de 40 pines de doble conector.
Cable IDE de 40 pines de un solo conector.

For the FDD rounded cable:
Rojo, una unidad, 25cm/10 pulgadas

Does glow in the dark mean its UV reactive? That is what it tends to be. If so,

Reactivo UV, dos unidades, 45cm/18 pulgadas.
