– Digital Option and
accessories
When you buy the digital option, you will receive a software licence key and 1 mini-SAS HD cable 1m
long.
Be careful that even if this cable has the same mechanical dimension of SFF-8644 standard the electrical
connection are customized, so
it's not possible to use standard mini-SAS HD cables
otherwise the unit
will be
damaged
.
There are also two additional accessories available to be used with the digital outputs. These accessories
must be bought separately because they are not included in the digital option. The two accessories are:
•
The T3AWG3-8DIG-SMA cable. This is a mini-SAS to SMA cable adapter. It allows to convert the
8 digital LVDS output of the mini-SAS connector into 16 SMA connectors (2 SMA per LVDS pair)
•
The T3AWG3-8DIG-TTL. This is a probe that can be connected to the mini-SAS HD cable provided
with the dig license and it allows to convert LVDS output of the mini-SAS HD connector into
LVTTL standard signals.
The end of the mini-SAS HD cable provided with the digital options mechanically mates with standard
mini-SAS HD connectors while the
electrical connection is different from the standard
.
So if you need to connect the mini-SAS HD cable provided with the digital option you custom pcb to you
can use standard mini-SAS HD connectors (e.g. Amphenol
, TE Connectivity
, TE Connectivity
) but you should take
case of using the electrical connection shown below.
The connection of the T3AWG3-8DIG-SMA cable adapter
(mini-SAS HD to 16 SMA adapter cable) are
also described in the table below.
