FEATURES & BENEFITS

• IMLA based board connector insures compliance to the SAS 2.1 & proposed 3.0 electrical performance criteria

• Internal and external board connector and cable assemblies provide end-to-end application solutions

• 1X1, 1X2 and 1X4 connector/cage assemblies offer product family design flexibility

• All board connectors and configurations are fully 6G and 12G compliant allowing for use of same part numbers when system speeds increase from 6G to 12G

• Metal cages on the external connector and cables provide 360° EMI shielding and replaces problematic EMC elastomeric gaskets

• Cable assemblies offered in 4x and 8x configurations

• Eye-of-the-needle connector and cage single step termination yields consistent application to the PCB

• The external cable strain relief results in an axial pull force in excess of 20lbs

• Cable latch design reduces cable insertion force and un-mating issues

• Pull tabs are available in multiple lengths in Pantone 279 color to meet many application needs

• Positive stop feature on the casting prevents external cable assembly mating over-travel
