Bandwidth and signal compatibility: meets signal bandwidth requirements of 6 Gb/s to 12 Gb/s, covering SAS 2.1 and the proposed SAS 3.0 industry signal specifications. Industry standard compliance: fully compliant with SFF8643 internal applications and SFF8644 external applications. Flexible, reliable cable design: foldable and flexible construction to support easy routing while maintaining robust and secure connections in demanding environments. Flexible connection options: supports internal and external plate connections in 1x1, 1x2 (8x), and 1x4 (16x) configurations. Performance and durability: designed to preserve signal integrity and connection reliability across supported bandwidths and form factors, with materials and construction chosen for robustness. Compatibility and integration: suitable for SASbased storage solutions, including internal server backplanes and external storage enclosures, aligning with industry standards for plugandplay integration. Size and formfactor considerations: foldable and compact design facilitates spaceconstrained deployments and clean cable management without compromising performance. Practical applications and use scenarios: Internal server backplane wiring: connects SAS controllers to drive backplanes within servers or storage chassis that require SAS 2.1/3.0 signaling. External storage enclosure connections: enables reliable SAS links between servers and density external storage arrays using SFF8644 interfaces. Data center rack installations: supports flexible routing in dense rack environments, helping maintain organized cable layouts while preserving signal integrity for speed storage traffic. Why this product stands out: provides a single solution that covers speed SAS signaling (6–12 Gb/s), adheres to both internal and external SFF standards, and offers adaptable connection configurations through a foldable, durable cable design, suitable for a range of SAS storage architectures.
