SATA

Amphenol is an active member of the Serial ATA Standard working group and offers one of the broadest product lines to support the emerging market for SATA applications.

The market demand for increased speed and storage capacity to support the digital picture revolution, increased complexity of the gaming industry and DVD recorders  is thrusting the new SATA hard disk drives into the mainstream of data storage.  In addition to the wide range of PCB level products, Amphenol AssembleTech offers cable assemblies with the performance to support the market’s requirements.  

Feature and benefits:

ü         High performance cable: Differential pair signaling with less than 5ps/m in pair skews. Cable construction provides improved EMI. Successor to ATA-100 that meets both the 1.5Gbs and 3.0Gbs data rates.

ü         Signal Integrity: Amphenol Spectra Strip cable technology provides end-to-end signal integrity.  Our process controlled termination assures performance at both SATA I (1.5Gbs) and SATA II (3.0Gbs) data rates in the same cable.

ü         Smaller cable package: Thinner and more flexible cables allow for more efficient routing with improved airflow and thermal mechanics. Configuration of storage devices is simplified.

ü         Cost effectiveness and Scalability: World class manufacturing to support the Desktop PC market cost drivers. Future proof technology allows storage manufacturers to continue to increase performance with SATA.

ü         RoHS: Compliant!
