What worst-case test channels are currently available for interoperability testing?
In addition to the variety of SAS devices in the test bed, the SAS Consortium has worked closely with various cabling and backplane manufacturers to assemble a selection of worst-case test channels, which have been specially designed and built to meet the minimum TCTF requirements specified in the SAS standard. Use of these channels during interoperability testing ensures that proper device operation can still be maintained under worst-case insertion loss conditions.
