Cable Specifications(Cables and Cabling Configurations)

These cables enable connection from 95xx series MegaRAID and HBA Tri-Mode adapters to SAS, SATA, and PCIe (NVMe) devices.
Storage Interface Cabling
Choose the proper cable for the given backplane type and connectors. The correct choice is especially important for
backplanes that use SFF-8643 for the NVMe connectors. Many of these backplanes use an older legacy-recommended
pinout for the NVMe connector instead of a connector pinout based on the SFF-9402 specification. Most backplanes
that use either SFF-8612 or SFF-8654 connectors follow the SFF-9402 specification. The pinout recommended in the
PCI Express OCuLink Specification is equivalent to that recommended for SFF-9402. Verify the connector pinout for the
intended backplane to make sure the proper cable is used when connecting to NVMe drives.
Backplane Connectors
SFF-8612 or SFF-8654 are the preferred connectors to use for NVMe backplane or multiprotocol backplanes based on
the SFF-TA-1001 universal bay definition.
Backplanes that use OCuLink connectors should follow the PCI Express OCuLink Specification. This pinout is also
equivalent to the SFF-9402 specification recommendations. Verify the backplane connector pinout to make sure you use
proper cabling to the NVMe drive. Refer to the PCI Express OCuLink Specification and the SFF-9402 specification for
backplane NVMe connector pinout information.
