EonStor / EonStor DS S12/S16/S24 Series   

26

SAS-Host RAID Connections 

One SFF-8088-to-SFF-8088 host link cable is included per controller. You can 

contact your vendor to purchase additional cables if you need more than the included 

one. 

The 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.
