OVERVIEW

Today’s Telecommunication and Networking data transfer needs call for increased port density and speed in smaller packaging. SlimSAS Cable Assemblies move data at 12, 16 and 24Gbps, making this one of the densest, fastest and smallest I/O cable assemblies in the industry.

Enterprise server and storage data center customers desire capabilities for simple download to external storage systems across a multitude of protocols. SlimSAS Cable Assemblies offer versions that are compatible with PCIe and SAS3 protocols, as well as future-proofed for SAS 4 (24 Gbps). These cable assemblies can solve space and performance issues in download systems well into the future.

Telecommunications and networking and data center customers need to upgrade to the data rates specified by the latest industry standards for high-speed data transfer. SlimSAS Cable Assemblies meet SAS3, SAS4 and PCIe4 standards, delivering cutting-edge data rates to meet marketplace demands and in a pluggable module design to support easy implementation.

As capability demands on data centers increase, space constraints in trays and panels also increase. SlimSAS Cable Assemblies offer a small footprint and increased port density, taking up less precious real estate in trays and panels.
