SAS-Host Connections

NOTE

Please consult your vendor or sales representative for compatible host link cables.

Please contact your vendor to purchase host-link cables.

SAS cables (28AWG x 8 pairs) are characterized by 100ohm, black colors,

UL-approved, lead-free, 50, 120 or 170cm cable lengths; connectors can be secured

to chassis receptacle using latching mechanism.

WARNING

All SAS cables are sensitive and must be handled with care. To prevent interference

within a rack system, the cable routing path must be carefully planned and the cables

must not be bent.
