It says

This product is an internal Mini Serial Attached SCSI x4 to x4 Mini Serial Attached SCSI cable. It is used for connecting a SATA/SAS controller to a SATA/SAS backplane.

I do belive in this case it is 4 backplanes as there is 4 to connect?

and it says also internal cable

the streamcom registers itself as a keyboard rather than an rc6 reciever.
it didnt work that well with my harmony.
