2.9.2 SATA Routing Guidelines
SATA Insertion Loss Budget
The Serial ATA source specification provides insertion loss figures only for the SATA cable.
There are several cable types defined with insertion losses ranging from 6 dB up to 16 dB.
Cross talk losses are separate from material losses in the SATA specification.
The COM Express SATA Insertion loss budgets presented below represent the material losses and do
not include cross talk losses. The COM Express SATA Insertion loss budgets are a guideline: Module
and Carrier Board vendors
should not
exceed the values shown in the tables below.
