Used cables, adapters and adapters for servers - how to build an efficient infrastructure
Modern server systems are flexible and scalable complexes that are constantly evolving. In the process of their operation, there is a need for additional connecting equipment: cables, adapters, adapters, riser cables, slots, modules. All these components ensure stable operation of systems and allow you to expand the capabilities of servers.
Why do you need adapters and cables in your server?
Any server is a unique system that is assembled for specific tasks. Over time, it can be upgraded, new disks and boards can be connected, or remote administration can be added. For this purpose, you need high-quality used cables, adapters, and adapters.
Types of equipment
- Cables - mini SAS, power cables, communication cables;
- Adapters - network, Wi-Fi, PCI-e riser;
- Adapters - 2.5" to 3.5", various skids and baskets;
- Transceivers and cards - for connecting disks (Backplane SAS/SATA);
- Switches - for building a local server network.
Active and passive equipment
Adapters are divided into:
- Active - with electronic components that change or amplify the signal (for example, network adapters);
- Passive - transmitting the signal without changes (adapters, cables, skids).
An example of an active solution is a Wi-Fi adapter for a server, and a passive one is a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter.
What to look for when choosing
- Cable bandwidth - the cable should not be a "narrow neck" in the system;
- Compatibility - riser cards and boards should be suitable for your server platform;
- Workmanship - it's better to choose a used branded solution than a new Chinese copy.
For example, to connect several disks, it is convenient to use a SAS/SATA Backplane from Supermicro, and for a RAID controller, a Mini SAS to Mini SAS cable with 12 GB/s support.
