Multi-lane

High-Performance SATA Cable and Connector System

Get Connected via the Multi-lane™ Expressway

AMCC’s award winning Multi-lane design enables highly reliable and streamlined enterprise-class SATA storage solutions by greatly reducing the number of cables needed to connect controllers, backplanes, and standard SATA drives.

The Multi-lane SATA cable/connection system is fast, secure, simple, and clutter free. It combines the RAID controller’s four SATA ports into a single locked connection. Four 3Gb/s lanes of SATA traffic travel through just one cable from the RAID controller to the system backplane or to up to four

hard drives with a breakout cable.

Multi-lane Benefits

• Four lanes of high speed SATA traffic through a single cable

• Increased system reliability

• Reduced cable count

Streamlined storage

Locked connections

Improved airflow

Internal

SFF-8087 SFF-8470 M8

External

SFF-8088

Multi-lane SFF-8087, SFF-8470, and M8 cables provide internal connectivity from the controller to drives or the backplane. Multi-lane SFF-8088 cables provide external connectivity from the controller to the 3ware Sidecar.

NOTE: End-to-end Multi-lane connectivity requires a Multi-lane backplane
