you know the SFF connector naming schemes are a nightmare when it's an order of magnitude easier for me to download several gigabytes of project collateral for an Open Compute Project server chassis, unpack it, load the mainboard's board file in Allegro Board Viewer, and go find the connector part number they're using there, than it is to find reliable online documentation that tells me which of the thousand different SFF-xxxx numbers is the correct one and then find a connector part for it.

I swear, whichever one out of Amphenol, Samtec, or Molex builds a wizard where you say "I would like a connector for [some well defined computer interface]. It goes on the [board|other thing|board end of the wire|other end of the wire]. It must be [speed/width] and support [power specs]." and it gives you a table with the matching parts, the relevant standard names, and a link to a search that gives you the same data for mating parts, they'll kill all competition overnight.
