[SI-LIST] Re: Connector Selection

I've successfully used MiniSATA 4X cables (SFF-8087) for a 
board-to-board XAUI link.  It has the added advantage that it is a 
standard PC disk drive cable, so it is very inexpensive (~$20 for a 18" 
cable).  I believe they are rated for > 5Gbps.  The 36 pin version is 
the most available.  Eight extra "sideband" non-differential signals are 
available to use for other purposes.  Many cables omit the sideband signals.

Regards,

Chris
