Confirm that the host and device ports are both Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 and that the pin assignment matches the target system layout before installation; incorrect mating can damage terminals or host boards.
Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius of the braided wire cable and do not sharply twist the harness near the over-molded ends to protect the internal signal pairs and power reference conductors.
Route the cable away from sharp edges, high-current power lines and strong EMI sources whenever possible to maintain signal integrity.
For long-term operation in harsh server or automotive environments, project customers can request enhanced insulation, wider pitch or special jackets to match specific temperature and vibration requirements.
