Description
The male‑to‑male cable using 32AWG shielded twinax for stable, low‑noise transmission in dense chassis. Straight‑through wiring—no retimer/protocol conversion; requires a compatible controller/backplane using PCIe or SAS/SATA over SFF‑8643. Ideal for connecting motherboards/HBAs to NVMe U.2/U.3 or SAS/SATA backplanes depending on system design.
Specifications
- Interfaces: OCuLink SFF‑8611 4i (host) → Mini‑SAS HD SFF‑8643 (target)
- Cable: 32AWG shielded twinax; flat‑head, latch‑locking connectors
- Data rate: up to 12 Gbps per channel (system dependent)
- Connector gender: male‑to‑male; internal use only
- Use cases: server/workstation storage routing to NVMe or SAS/SATA backplanes
- Note: no protocol conversion—ensure host/backplane support the same signaling
