3M™ Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Connector

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the evolution of SCSI beyond Ultra 320. SAS utilizes the serial, point-to-point topology and provides signal transmission at a data rate comparable to the data rate supported by Ultra 320 and promises doubling the data rate in the coming years. The development of SAS started during late 2001.

New, Smaller Connector Solution Doesn't Sacrifice Performance
3M™ Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) Connector


3M, the company that developed the 3M™ Mini Delta Ribbon (MDR) Connector and Cable Assembly interface for Camera Link® applications, now offers the same reliable performance in the smaller 3M™ Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) Connector .8 mm interface.

The 3M SDR Connector solutions utilizes the same reliable ribbon contact system and polarized steel shell interface in a condensed .8 mm package without sacrificing transmission performance. The SDR connector's innovative packaging design allows for drop-in replacement of existing MDR Camera Link® applications.

3M offers a variety of solutions for Camera Link® applications that require a smaller interface, but can't afford to sacrifice the transmission performance decline that is usually associated with this transition. 3M solutions are comprised of boardmount connectors and cable assembly variations developed to address the migration to smaller Camera Link® interface requirements.

Rugged, Reliable Cable Assembly Solution
3M™ Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) Cable Assembly


The 3M™ Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) Cable Assembly solution is constructed of a rugged, over-mold shell with a reliable thumbscrew locking system. The assemblies have been developed to address the multitude of options now available with the introduction of mini Camera Link® (mini CL). In addition, 3M has added two new features to our standard Camera Link® assembly offering. The first is an over-mold, right angle configuration that provides a low profile, thumbscrew interface. The right angle option reduces the assembly profile by over four inches when compared to traditional straight exit backshell options. The second new feature is our extender assembly that is used for adding length to the existing cables or providing a means for transition through a bulkhead/mid-span requirement. The extender cables feature over-mold MDR receptacles.
