What is the difference between forward and reverse breakout?

MCIO x8 (SFF-TA-1016) 74P to 8x 7P SATA Breakout Cable

CAB-MCIOi8-8xSATA

Q
What is the difference between forward and reverse breakout?
A
A forward breakout cable typically goes from a controller or motherboard MCIO host port to multiple SATA drives. A reverse breakout cable is wired differently and is used for other signal-routing scenarios. Using the wrong type will not work, so verify the cable direction before purchase.
