The MiniSAS Cables builders using the 6 Gbit/s SAS technology

 10X the length of a 2 meter assive cable.Quellan, Inc., in analog signal processing and RF noise cancellation ICs, announced the availability of a portfolio of 6Gbps SAS products including MiniSAS Cables, active cable modules, based on its production QLx4600 Lane Extender IC. The company has previously validated the performance of the mini-SAS cables activated by its revolutionary Q:Active  analog lane extender technology at several private and public testing events, most recently at the SAS Plugfest conducted on November 10–14, 2008 at the University of New Hampshire Interoperability lab.

Tyco tested its standard External MiniSAS Cable 12M for $199.00 and raised the bar by also testing longer length cables (30 AWG at 5.5m, 28 AWG at 7m and 26 AWG at 8.5m) with 6 Gbit/s SAS signaling speeds—demonstrating its wide breadth of customized cable assembly solutions.
Final test results concluded that no bit errors were detected, which indicates that Tyco MiniSAS Cables perform without dropped data for system builders using the 6 Gbit/s SAS technology. Prior to the event, internal S-parameter and near-end-crosstalk tests were conducted on the cable assemblies to meet the requirements for 6 Gbit/s SAS specifications.
