Kevin-
Actually the wording in the spec is actually even more confusing than
what you stated. It actually states Trained cables will have the key and
untrained cables will not.  How do you market a cable as "Trained"?
See table 14, page 57 of the spec, page 74 of the PDF.

Subject: SAS2 6G Connectors
In looking at SAS-2 it appears that all external connectors that support
6G are supposed to have slot 3 on the connector.  Likewise the cables
are supposed to have key 3 if they are for 6G (i..e, too long for 3G).
Yet when searching for cables and HBA's on the web, we do not see any
cables or HBA's that have key/slot 3. 
Am I missing an understanding here? 
Thanks,
