„ Multi-lane M8 fanout cable
When connecting a 9650SE-24M8 controller to individual
SATA drives or a backplane that has individual SATA
connectors, use the Multi-lane M8 fanout cable. These cables
have an M8 connector on one end and eight individual SATA
connectors on the other end. They look similar to the Multi-lane
serial breakout cable shown in Figure 7, except that they have
eight individual connectors instead of four.
