Aomoproing SFF-8482 SAS to SATA adapter cable 2.3ft blue 5 pack

SKU CH-53CE-PBCSV

Connects SAS drives to SATA controllers with integrated Molex power, 2.3 ft length, 6 Gbps speed, blue, five pack

Pack 5 packs

  • Connect SAS drives to compatible SATA controllers
  • 3 ft cable with 7-inch Molex power lead
  • Supports SATA III 6 Gbps transfer speeds
  • Blue SFF-8482 to SATA adapter, five cables
  • Works with both SAS and SATA drives

What this cable does

This adapter cable connects a SAS hard drive with an SFF-8482 connector to a SATA port on a motherboard or RAID controller that supports SAS drives. It carries both data and power through a single assembly, with a 7-inch Molex 4-pin lead supplying drive power. Data transfer runs at SATA III 6 Gbps.

Who should use it and who should not

Builders adding SAS drives to a SAS-capable SATA controller will find this a direct fit, and it also works with standard SATA drives. Buyers whose controllers lack SAS support cannot use the SAS side of the adapter, and anyone needing a different drive connector or a longer power lead will need another solution.

Installation notes

The SATA host plug, SAS device plug and Molex power connector are all keyed, so they only fit one way. Route the 2.3 ft data cable and the short power lead without sharp bends. The most common issue is plugging the adapter into a SATA port that does not recognise SAS drives, which leaves the drive invisible to the system.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a SAS-enabled SATA controller for this SFF-8482 adapter to work?

Yes, the controller must support SAS drives; a standard SATA-only port will not communicate with the SAS device.

Can I still use this blue 2.3ft cable with a regular SATA hard drive instead of a SAS drive?

The cable works with SATA drives as well, functioning as a combined data and power lead for a SATA controller and SATA HDD.

How do I confirm the link is running at the rated 6 Gbps after I connect the SAS drive?

Check the negotiated link speed in your BIOS, RAID utility, or operating-system disk tool; it should report SATA III 6 Gbps.
