Introduction:
Serial ATA cable assemblies represent the next generation in box storage interfaces
Serial ATA is a superior technology to parallel ATA because it uses thinner, more flexible cables and fewer pins in connectors, which improves airflow and allows for easier board routing

Plating-mating area: gold 15 microinches minimum
Operating temperature: -25 to +80 degrees Celsius
Electrical properties:
Contact current rating: 1.5A per pin minimum
Contact resistance: initially 30mW maximum
Dielectric withstanding voltage: 500VAC for 1 minute at sea level
Insulation resistance: 1000mW minimum
Cable length: depends on customer's request
