High-Performance SAS and SATA Cable and Connector System
Get Connected via the Multi-lane

expressway
AMCC’s award winning Multi-lane design enables highly reliable and stream-
lined enterprise-class SAS and SATA storage solutions by greatly reducing the
number of cables needed to connect controllers, backplanes, and standard
SAS/SATA drives.
The Multi-lane SATA cable/connection system is fast, secure, simple, and
clutter free. It combines the RAID controller’s multiple SAS/SATA ports into
single locked connections. Multiple 3Gb/s lanes of SAS/SATA traffic travel
through just one cable from the RAID controller to the system backplane
or to multiple hard drives with a breakout cable.
