Sun external SMD cables

Each cable type has a recommended way that signal and grounds should be paired and in what proximity in the cable. For SMD I never saw a formal spec with as much detail as the SCSI spec, and I don't know if they standardized the cabling.? Mainly to speculate about whether you can use a generic 25-25 or 37-37 straight thru. I suspect the 25-25 would be sensitive to the type of conductor pairing and fabrication would work.? The 37-37 bus connector probably would work with looser electrical specs to substitute in different cabling. Also just to make things more entertaining on the Oracle site for sun hardware they are using the term "Storage Module Drive" to refer to 6g/s SAS drives installed in individual blades for a blade server system.?? So the term appears frequently in their online docs, and including old documents and current documents. Here's one example of that term on a page https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19452-01/html/821-0911/gkfcf.html If I'm not far off base, I ran across two vendors who may have made the controller if they aren't sun, Interphase, and Xylogics.? Also an article referred to the Sun boards as Eurocard from Xylogics. Xylogics 753. Thanks Jim
