INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTORS MINI SAS / SATA CONNECTORS, CAGES & CABLE ASSEMBLIES For High-Speed Serial Mini SAS or Mini SATA 4x Links OVERVIEW FCIs external mini-SAS / SATA connector, cage and cable assembly system solution addresses the storage industrys demand for more compact, high-speed serial I/O interfaces that also support evolving signal speed requirements. Increasing numbers of drives within a system demand additional I/O ports along a card edge, dictating more densely packaged serial I/O solutions. The mini-SAS / SATA I/O system provides a cost-effective, high-speed solution that meets the bandwidth requirements of current and future applications in servers and external storage systems. FCIs connectors and cable assemblies meet Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) requirements for mini-multilane external systems thus assuring inter-mateability with standardized port interfaces. Specifically, FCIs mini-SAS / SATA solutions satisfy the applicable requirements of the INCITS T10 SAS 2.0 & SAS 2.1 specification or the SATA-IO Serial ATA specification and conform to the mechanical requirements described in the associated SFF-8086 and SFF-8088 documents. The availability of both mini-SAS and mini-SATA compatible connectors, cages and cable assemblies gives the user the option to choose the most appropriate and cost-effective link for their respective application.

The cable assemblies use a highly engineered printed circuit board designed to address not only the stringent mechanical interface requirements but also the higher-bandwidth signal integrity thresholds for proper signal transmission as defined by the applicable industry standards. FCIs cable assemblies meet Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) requirements for mini-multilane external cables. Specifically, FCIs mini-multilane cables satisfy the applicable requirements of the INCITS T10 SAS 2.0 and 2.1 specification or the SATA-IO Serial ATA specification and conform to the mechanical requirements described in the associated SFF-8086 and SFF-8088 documents. A highly controlled and stable cable assembly manufacturing processes minimize wire management and termination variations that impact the performance of the cable assembly. Ro- bust final test and quality systems assure high quality cable assemblies conforming to the high-speed electrical performance requirements in industry specifications.
