• Available configurations in 1x1, 1x2, and 1x4.
• An internal connector that is also used in FCI’s external board connector and cage system assuring consistent electrical and mechanical performance.
• Interface and latching features that are fully compliant to SFF- 8643 standards.
• Internal Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAS HD cable configurations, and internal Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAS legacy cables.
• SAS 2.1 or SAS 3.0 compliance.
• Sideband signaling for low-speed signal transmission.
