HIGH DENSITY
Connectors & Cable Assemblies
TE Connectivity’s (TE’s) Mini-SAS HD (high density) product family includes compact, high-speed
I/O solutions for SAS applications: storage, rack-mount servers, workstations, storage racks, high
performance computing, HBAs (host bus adapters), RAID (redundant arrays of inexpensive disks),
switches and more. The product family supports speeds up to 12 Gb/s and includes the following
interfaces:
• Internal receptacles and copper cable assemblies
• External receptacles and copper cable assemblies
The interfaces are adopted for the SAS-2.1 and SAS-3 standards. The reduced size of the interconnects
saves additional 30% to 50% PCB space; a low profile PCIe card can accomodate 4 Mini-SAS HD
connectors versus 2 SAS connectors.

TE’s internal Mini-SAS HD connector is a 12 Gb/s high-
density, high-speed interface capable of supporting an
aggregate data rate of 48 Gb/s per connector (12G x 4
lanes) with a version capable of transferring an aggregate
data rate of 192 Gb/s. Designed to be approximately 30 %
smaller than conventional internal Mini-SAS connectors,
the internal Mini-SAS HD connector enables you to save
precious PCB space. Additionally, the connector has been
adopted by SAS 2.1 and SAS 3 specifications.
Featuring both right angle and vertical orientations,
TE’s internal Mini-SAS HD interconnects suit a variety of
architectures in multiple applications: enterprise storage,
high-performance computing, networking and data centers.
The connector supports direct passive and active copper
cable assemblies.

TE’s internal Mini-SAS HD cable assembly oers system
designers with a high speed connection packaged in an
extremely flexible, small design. Performing at 12 Gb/s per
lane at four lanes, the product transfers data at a total rate of
48 Gb/s. Paired with our internal Mini-SAS HD receptacle, the
connector can drive higher aggregate data rates of 192G.
Designed with ultra-slim Madison Cable brand TurboTwin
cable and a short 18mm connector (plug), the cable assembly
improves airflow while saving additional PCB space. These
advtanges are critical for internal, inside-the-box applications
that demand ecient space usage.
The cable assembly is available in multiple lengths ranging
from .3m to 1m and is designed for reliability through use
of an abrasion- and cut-resisteant cable jacket. This jacket
additionally shields isolation to maintain signal integrity.

External Mini-SAS HD Copper Cable Assembly
The passive direct attach external Mini-SAS HD copper cable as-
sembly is designed for broadband operation optimized for 6 and
12 Gb/s. The EEPROM signature enables the host to identify what
type and length of cable is connected to its port, and can be cus-
tomized for any application. An improved latch design reduces
the insertion force and increases the retention force. MADISON
CABLE brand TurboTwin bulk cable, and the dual 4 pair cable
exit backshell provide flexibility for routing.
Features
• High-Speed: Broadband design for
6 and 12 Gb/s
• Improved Cable Management /
Airflow: Dual 4-pair cable design
for flexibility and routability
• Design Flexibility:
• Built with 12G Madison Brand
TurboTwin cable and available
in sizes 30 AWG, 28 AWG 26
