Serial Attached SCSI Cables and Connectors

In the process of defining and standardizing the Serial Attached SCSI technology, the T10 technical and SFF committees have defined cables and connectors to support the many different SAS-based system topologies that can now be developed. These cables and connectors are available today from many suppliers. Additional connectors are also in development that will provide higher I/O density. This white paper summarizes these solutions and provides direction for the connectivity implementation of SAS-based systems. (February 2005)
