10Gtek SFF-8644 to QSFP+ SAS cable 4.92 ft

External Mini SAS HD connectivity

This 10Gtek cable links an SFF-8644 port to a QSFP+ port using a 4.92 ft hybrid assembly. It targets server and switch builders who need 40 GbE density across adapter cards and storage controllers. The black 30 AWG construction carries four lanes at 10.0 Gbps each with 100 Ohm impedance. Compliance covers QSFP MSA and SAS 3.0 specifications.

Replacing legacy copper interconnects

The hybrid design replaces separate SFF-8644 and QSFP+ patch cords when consolidating ports on a single run. Pull-tabs on both connectors speed removal in dense racks without tools. The jump is worth it when a controller or switch requires direct SFF-8644 attachment but the peer device only presents QSFP+. Single 3.3 V operation keeps power draw low across the link.

Four-lane headroom for 40 GbE

Each of the four channels delivers up to 10 Gbps, giving aggregate throughput suited to 40 Gigabit Ethernet and SAS 3.0 traffic. The 100 Ohm controlled impedance and precision skew control preserve signal integrity at the rated rate. Runs exceeding the 4.92 ft length or environments needing higher per-lane bandwidth fall outside the cable's rated envelope.
