I would put this one in high telco. For ease of statement this is a passive board. No actual controllers. The controllers reside on the peripheral devices and the interpreter on a connected board. Usually the motherboard or a SAS controller board.
However it does have fairly thick gold plated pins plus the two gold pin ports. The gold cap, actually a CMC, not an IC, adds a small bit to the value. And a nice high density of valuable components and no low value components.
High telco.
