00D2597 IBM iPass Mini SAS Cable

00D2597 Overview (New Bulk)

This IBM is a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) data cable with Mini-SAS connectors on both ends, used primarily in enterprise server and storage environments to link internal or external SAS-equipped devices such as host bus adapters (HBAs), backplanes, RAID controllers, or storage enclosures. Specifically referenced as an iPass Mini-SAS cable, it typically features straight male Mini-SAS ends that plug into standard SFF-8087 or similar Mini-SAS ports, enabling high-speed serial data transfer between SAS components. SAS cables like this carry multiple differential signal pairs in a compact form factor, providing robust, point-to-point connections for multi-lane SAS interfaces used in high-availability and high-performance storage configurations.
