Mini-SAS HD PCIe Cable

External Mini-SAS HD PCIe cable is used for interconnecting data centre server and storage devices for the following:

• Servers
• HBAs (Host Bus Adapters)
• JBOFs (Just a Bunch of Flash)
• JBODs (Just a Bunch of Disks)
• RAIDs (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)
• Direct-Attached Storage (DAS)
• Storage Arrays

Volex external Mini-SAS HD PCIe cables are copper cable assemblies with shielded pluggable modules compliant with SFF-8614 shielded cage/connector standard. SFF-8614 mini multilane (4X and 8X lanes) interface has become the standard storage external interface in data centres supporting 8Gbps per lane for PCIe Gen 3 and 16 Gbps per lane for PCIe Gen 4.
