[...] the
eight in an RJ45-ended cable [...]
I guess I am the only person to object to the
term 'RJ45' beign used
generically for the 8p8c connector... Given a sufficinetly high serial bit rate, I see no
reason why you
cou;dn't serialised the SCIS signals and send them over the 4 twisted
pairs you have on an 8p8c conenctor.It's been done with other
interfaces, afte all.
Tweak the physical layer a little and I think you just reinvented SAS
(though admittedly I don't know SAS well enough to be sure).
