Technical Information

• 100 Ohm differential pairs

• Four pairs with and without sidebands

• Solid polyolefin insulation

• .88 mm thick

• RoHS* compliant

• The cable is UL AWM 21008 (150V, 80C);

file number E42769

• Halogen free**

*“RoHS Compliant 2002/95/EC” means that the product or part (“Product”) does not contain any of the substances in excess of

the maximum concentration values in EU Directive 2002/95/EC, as amended by Commission Decision 2005/618/EC, unless the

substance is in an application that is exempt under EU RoHS. This information represents 3M’s knowledge and belief, which may

be based in whole or in part on information provided by third party suppliers to 3M.

** Halogen Free is defined as both 1) no halogen compounds that are intentionally added to the product or used in the

manufacturing process for the product and 2) any impurities present are less than 900 ppm bromine, less than 900 ppm chlorine

and/or less than 1500ppm total bromine and chlorine. The latter are the levels set forth in certain industry standards for printed

circuit boards, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61249-2-21 standard. This information represents

3M/s knowledge and belief which may be based in whole or in part on information provided by 3rd party suppliers to 3M.

SCSI (miniSAS). The cable has been functionally tested in SAS 2.0 applications and passes those requirements in a 6 Gbps environment.

Depending on length and attenuation requirements, applications to 10 Gbps and beyond can be implemented with SL8800 Series Cable.

3M will support you and your system requirements as bandwidth demands increase. Look for future versions of 3M high speed cable in

other wire gauges, form factors and increased performance.

Cables should not be a design constraint. Make them a design enabler.
