#5916 - IBM POWER8 SAS AA Cable 6m - HD 6Gb Adapter to Adapter
(#5916) - SAS AA Cable 6m - HD 6Gb Adapter to Adapter
This 6 meter SAS cable connects a pair of SAS adapters to each other. This AA cable has two Mini-SAS HD (High Density)connectors which connect the top connectors of two #5913 1.8GB RAID SAS Adapters. The cable provides a high performance path of all the dual controller communication including mirroring the write cache and status awareness of each card. This cable can support up to 6Gb throughput.
An AA cable is always required between a pair of #5913 adapters unless all six (three pair) of ports are used to attach I/O drawers. If an AA cable fails or is disconnected, then the information it was carrying is then sent over the cables attached to the I/O drawers, sharing their bandwidth.
Multiple cable length feature codes are available. Choose the cable length that best matches the distance between the two adapters.
