MiniSAS Connector

Amphenol Communications Solutions' Mini-SAS external I/O connector system consists of a die-cast metal cage and a compact multi-lane SMT connector. It supports fiber channel and InfiniBand standards, making it the perfect solution to the ever-growing demand for high-speed mass storage systems, servers, and storage area networks. Providing four serial send/receive channels per port, this connector system provides signal speeds of 6 Gbps per channel. The cage is mounted separately to the body so that the stress imposed by insertion and removal of the cable plug does not affect the signal/body solder joints. Mini-SAS satisfies the requirements of the INCITS T10 SAS 2.0 and SAS 2.1, and provides reverse keying for active copper cables per SAS 2.0 and SAS 2.
