Key specifications

• Data transfer speed: Up to 12Gb/s
• Interface type: Mini SAS NVMe
• Application: Server-grade storage connectivity
• Compatibility: Optimized for Supermicro systems

How to use

To install the cable, ensure the server is powered down and disconnected from the power source. Carefully align the Mini SAS connector with the corresponding port on the storage controller or backplane. Insert the connector until it clicks into place, ensuring a firm connection. Connect the other end of the cable to the NVMe drive interface. Once connected, secure the cable within the server chassis using cable management clips to prevent obstruction of airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your specific server model and storage controller
• Check the required cable length for your chassis configuration
• Ensure your storage backplane supports Mini SAS NVMe connectivity

Usage recommendations

Always handle the cable by the connector housing rather than the wires to prevent internal damage. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles during installation to maintain optimal signal integrity and longevity.
