There is confusion in the industry over these cables.
Sierra has decided to modify how we are describing our SAS Cable offering.
Our part#s will now reflect the connector that is attached to the initiator
& then the connector attached to the drive or backplane. This methodology
appears to be able to take some of the confusion out of the minds of our
customers.
Please call to discuss your application if you have any questions about
which SAS Cable style you need.
SAS Cable assemblies are listed as follows: First connector attaches to your
Host & 2nd connector attaches to your Target
