Cables and Connectors 8

8.1 Cabling

A Serial ATA device is connected to a host through a direct connection or through a cable. For

direct connection, the device plug connector, shown as (a) and (b) in Figure 21, is inserted di rectly

into a host receptacle connector, illus trated as (g) in Figure 22. The device plug connector and the

host receptacle connector incorporate features that enable the direc t connecti on to be hot pl uggable

and blind mateable.
