Amphenol's external mini-SAS / SATA connector, cage, and cable assembly system solution addresses the storage industry's demand for more compact, high-speed serial I/O interfaces that also support evolving signal speed requirements.
Amphenol's external Mini-SAS cable assembly solutions address the current and legacy storage industry's demand for a reliable, compact, high-speed serial I/O supporting SAS 2.1. Mini-SAS solutions satisfy the applicable requirements of the INCITS T10 and SAS 2.1 specification and conform to the mechanical requirements described in the SFF-8086 and SFF-8088 documents.
Mini-SAS High-Density receptacle is the next-gen SAS system; the SAS 2.1 standard meets SAS-3 next-gen speed & density requirements that provide faster data transmission & more bandwidth for end users. The low-profile system provides 4X and 8X cable-plug options & the external I/O connectors include eight sideband signals per 4X port, 1x4 configuration for up to 192Gb/s of total bandwidth.
Amphenol's Mini-SAS HD Active Optical Cable is fully compliant with SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 industry standards as well as the SFF-8636 interface standard. Used primarily for external Enterprise storage applications, this cable is part of Amphenol's comprehensive Mini-SAS HD product offerings that address all board connector and cabling applications, from 1 to 100 meters.
Amphenol's Mini-SAS HD product is the present generation SAS storage interface addressing multi-channel bandwidth requirements of 6Gb/s, 12Gb/s, and 24Gb/s while meeting or exceeding SAS 2.1 SAS 3 and SAS 4 specifications. The Mini-SAS HD product provides greater port density (11mm port-to-port) versus the legacy Mini-SAS 2.1 product (19.01mm port-to-port).
NEXT-GENERATION SAS STORAGE INTERFACE
Amphenol Mini-SAS High-Density connector system is the next-generation SAS system that provides faster data rates and more bandwidth. It provides double the port density of current Mini-SAS connectors with 1x1, 1x2, and 1x4 port options.
Minitek® Board-In connector system is a flexible solution designed for economical and permanent wire-to-board applications up to 3A. It is a one-piece direct solder-to-board solution that provides space and cost savings compared to a two-piece connector system. It is currently offered in 2-16 positions under 2.00mm and 2.50mm pitch sizes covering vertical and horizontal configurations.
FCI Basics Minitek® MicroSpeed connector family with 1.00mm pitch supports high-speed data applications with up to 25Gb/s. These connectors feature a shielded design that provides superior EMC performance and significantly improved electromagnetic compatibility. The poka-yoke polarization prevents visual mismating, which makes it ideal for use in industrial environments.
FCI Basics Minitek® Pwr 3.0 Blind Mate Interface (BMI) is a flexible and comprehensive solution designed for power applications with a current rating of up to 5A per contact. These connectors provide an ideal solution for wire-to-board applications. Minitek® Pwr 3.0 BMI is featured with scoop-proof housings that prevent terminals and headers from damage during angled mating.
FCI Basics Minitek® Pwr 3.0 is a flexible and comprehensive solution designed for power applications with a current rating oup to 5A per contact. It is available in 2 to 24 circuits for dual row and 2 to 12 circuits for single row. Crimp, snap-in header and receptacle contacts are used to terminate 30-20AWG wires. Header and receptacle housings allow wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations.
