When connecting a 6Gb/sec SAS Controller or SAS Expander to a 12 Gb/sec capable hot swap backplane, the data cables used will need a SFF-8643 connector on
one end of the cable and a SFF-8087 connector on the other. See Table 11. Storage Data Cable Kit Description and Order Information for appropriate cable kits.

Product tables in this section will reference SAS/SATA cables using different connector types to meet the connection and routing requirements for the specified
system configuration. Each cable reference and product code will identify the connector type at each end of the cable using the following identifiers: HR, HD, and
MS. The following table identifies the three cable connector types and their identifiers.
HR = Right Angle SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD Connector
HD = Straight SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD Connector
MS = Straight SFF-8087 Mini SAS Connector (compatible with 6Gb/sec SAS controllers and expanders)
