ConnPro Industries Inc. Slim SAS HD Active Optical Cable for SAS 3.0 (12G per Lane) 6M * Limited to quantity on hand *

Connpro’s 48-Gbps Slim-SAS HD AOC is of high-performance with full-duplex and aggregate 48-Gbps bandwidth for SAS-3 protocol specialized in storage applications. Compared with conventional copper cables, longer, lighter, and flexible AOCs enable the ease of complicated data-center cablings because of its small cable diameter of only 3-mm. High-quality 850-nm VCSELs and PIN PDs are utilized in this AOC cable with superior signal integrity and bit-error-rate (BER) performance, which enables reliable operation performance. This 48-Gbps Slim-SAS HD AOC is compliant with SFF-8644 MSA with mechanical requirement, whose reduced size of connector provides premium board space for implementing more I/O ports. The single land speed is up to 12-Gbps to fulfill SAS-3 standard, also backward to fully compliant with SAS-2.1 of 6-Gbps land speed. Also, the out-of-band (OOB) low-speed hand-shaking communication is also supported with optical mold selection. This cable can be compliant to 40GBASE-SR4 Ethernet or 40-Gbps QDR InfiniBand protocol to meet several existing standards.
