1M External Mini SAS SFF-8088 To Infiniband SFF-8470 Cable

Introduction

An external Mini SAS SFF-8088 to Infiniband SFF-8470 cable is a type of cable used to connect external storage devices, such as hard drives or RAID enclosures, to a host computer or server using the Infiniband interface.

Infiniband is a high-speed data transfer protocol commonly used in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The SFF-8470 connector is the standard connector used for Infiniband connections, while the Mini SAS SFF-8088 connector is a small form-factor serial attached SCSI (SAS) connector.

The cable has a male SFF-8088 connector at one end and a male SFF-8470 connector at the other, which plug into matching ports on the storage device and host system, respectively.

When selecting an external Mini SAS SFF-8088 to Infiniband SFF-8470 cable, it's important to consider factors such as cable length, cable quality, and compatibility with your storage device and host system. It's also important to ensure that the cable has been tested and certified to meet the necessary performance and safety standards.

Overall, this type of cable is useful for connecting storage devices to high-performance computing systems that utilize the Infiniband interface for fast data transfer.
