Verify that the host port is SFF-8643 and the drive uses a standard U.2 / SFF-8639 interface; do not force the connector into incompatible sockets to avoid bending pins.
Observe the recommended bend radius of the twinax wire cable to maintain impedance control and prevent degradation of high-speed signal transmission.
Ensure the system’s power budget supports the connected U.2 SSD; this harness only routes power rails provided by the host and does not include its own regulation.
Route the assembly away from sharp metal edges and strong EMI sources; secure it with clips or ties so that stress is not transferred to the board-mounted terminals.
Custom harnesses combining multiple Mini SAS HD links, alternative pitch connectors, or additional automotive / industrial grade protections can be supplied for batch projects.
