Mini SAS HD Cables
Mini SAS HD cables are used to connect expansion ports. Mini SAS HD cables are divided into mini SAS HD electrical cables and mini SAS HD optical cables.
- For the lengths of the mini SAS HD electrical and optical cables, see the "Hardware Specifications".
- The mini SAS HD optical cables can be used to connect devices over distance, for example, cross-cabinet connections.
- The optical connector of a mini SAS HD optical cable has a built-in O/E conversion module and provides electrical ports.
Mini SAS HD Electrical Cables
Mini SAS HD electrical cables are used to connect a controller enclosure to a disk enclosure or connect two disk enclosures.
Figure 4-126 shows the appearance of a mini SAS HD electrical cable.
Mini SAS HD Optical Cables
Mini SAS HD optical cables are used to connect a controller enclosure to a disk enclosure or connect two disk enclosures.
Figure 4-127 shows the appearance of a mini SAS HD optical cable.
- The only difference between a mini SAS HD optical cable and an optical fiber is the connector. You can bind mini SAS HD optical cables in the same way as binding optical fibers. For details, section "Cable Routing and Bundling Basics" in the Installation Guide.
- Mini SAS HD optical cables cannot be used to connect high-density disk enclosures, including controllers to high-density enclosures or two high-density disk enclosures.
