SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 (External)

The ISAS88882 2m External SAS Cable is designed for high-performance networks, servers, workstations and desktops, supporting data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps.This durable Mini SAS cable features SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 plugs for connecting your external SAS devices (controllers, hard drives, SAN storage area network, etc.), and it is TAA-compliant for Federal (GSA Schedule) purchases.Constructed of high quality materials this 2-meter SAS cable is backed by StarTech.com’s Lifetime Warranty.This is the most common external multilane connector type. However, unlike SFF-8087, where the top cards often have four or six connectors, SFF-8088 usually comes with only one or two connectors per controller. This is because a single SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 (External) connector on a SAS Expander-enabled controller can connect to a large SAS Expander-enabled enclosure, which can then be daisy-chained.Before the popularity of SAS Expanders, people had to use 8087-to-8088 adapters to convert unused internal ports into external ports. This is still common for SATA controllers, or SAS controllers that are not being used with a SAS Expander setup.The ISAS88881 1-meter Serial Attached SCSI Cable is designed for high-performance networks, servers, workstations and desktops. The SAS cable features a SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 (External) connector that supports data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps. The SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable is constructed of high quality materials and is backed by StarTech.com’s Lifetime Warranty.

SFP+ Passive DAC up to four upstream 10GbE-SFP+ enabled switches

This was originally implemented to ensure authorized optical transceivers were used with a particular vendor’s equipment, and now some equipment vendors have implemented similar requirements
for SFP+ Passive DAC assemblies as well. Since DAC cables are often used between two different vendors equipment, most vendors have removed EEPROM lock-out from their equipment. However, a few vendors
maintain this lock-out feature. The goal of this technical reference is to provide guidance for understanding the compatibility of Panduit SFP+ DAC Cable Assemblies. While most equipment vendors currently are open to third party SFP+ DAC cables, the below table provides awareness of different known compatibility issues with Panduit DAC cable assemblies. The table below will be updated any time prior compatibility issues are resolved or new compatibility issues are discovered. Continue reading

SFF-8088 cable is features a universal keyed SFF-8644

The SFF-8088 connector is a very widely used connector type that is commonly used today on SAS cards. It carries the equivalent of four SATA/ SAS 7-pin connections through a SFF-8087 to SFF-8088 cable providing 12gbps of throughput using SAS or SATA II 3.0gbps devices. This high quality cable is 3 meters in length, supports data transfer rate of up to 6Gb/s and features SFF-8088 (26-pin Mini-SAS) to SFF-8088 (26-pin Mini-SAS) connectors.External mini-SAS SFF8088 cable, 1 meter long. The cable is used for Areca external RAID control card such as ARC-1882X, ARC-1320-8X, and all other external mini-SAS port connection.the SCSI Trade Association (SCSITA) promotes the technology.QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) to MIniSAS SFF-8088 cable hybrid cables are designed for high-density Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) applications. These cables are used as an interconnect solution between newer QSFP+ Hardware and older external 3G and 6G Mini SAS equipment and provide data transfer rates up to 10Gbops per channel at distances of up to 10 meters.

This 4-channel cable is constructed with a high-performance cable, which features individually shielded parallel pairs, double EMI/RFI shielding, EMI Noise Suppressor. Mini SAS was developed to support data rates at 6.0 Gbps in order to meet theongoing industry requirement for higher speed and greater bandwidths, This data rate is achieved via the use of high speed differential signals. External MiniSAS SFF-8088 to HD Mini-SAS (SFF-8644) Cables function as a Hybrid Cable; thus permitting the installer to link up legacy Mini-SAS devices with the latest generation of Mini-SAS HD (High Density) hardware.

SFP 1.25Gb/s diagnostics functions are available via the 2-wire serial

The compact metallic enclosure includes a standard SC/UPC connector. The transceiver uses 1310nm, 1490nm, or 1550nm for transmission in one direction and 1310nm, 1490nm, or 1550nm for transmission in the other direction. The transceiver may be used for bidirectional data links u to SFP 1.25Gb/s over single-mode fiber. All SFP modules now include Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM).This SFP transceiver is a brand product of Finisar. All of them are housed in a metal package and the combination produces a reliable component.SFP 1.25Gb/s transceiver use microprocessors and digital diagnosis technology to make the voltage, temperature and other factors of broad changes showed excellent stable performance in complex environments. With the advanced technology our products are improved and reduce jitter, electromagnetic interference and power consumption loss.  Continue reading
