Mini SAS/SATA Cable Assemblies Support Accelerating Signals

Addressing the demand for more compact, high-speed serial I/O interfaces that also support evolving signal-speed requirements, the company’s external Mini-Multilane SAS/SATA I/O cable assemblies offer increased port density along a card edge and a shorter external-plug profile that reduces cable-bend clearance requirements in comparison to Multilane SAS/SATA cable links per SFF-8470. The 26-position, mini-multilane external cable assemblies enable Mini-SAS or Mini-SATA 4x external cable links and meet requirements for 1.5 Gb/s per channel and up to 6 Gb/s per channel. They also satisfy the requirements of the INCITS T10 SAS 1.1 or the SATA-IO Serial ATA specifications and conform to the mechanical requirements described in the associated SFF-8086 and SFF-8088 documents.
