  • Dual Mini-SAS HD SFF-8643 links to existing backplanes
  • 32 AWG wire gauge supports SAS signal integrity
  • Factory-built to industrial specification for demanding applications

Areca SlimSAS to Mini-SAS HD Cable

This one-metre cable connects a SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 port to two Mini-SAS HD 4i SFF-8643 connectors. It suits storage builders linking modern backplanes or controllers that use the SlimSAS interface to legacy SAS expanders or enclosures.

Dual 4i breakout doubles connection options

The SFF-8654 end carries eight lanes which split into two independent four-lane SFF-8643 plugs. This lets a single controller port serve two separate SAS devices or enclosures without an extra expander card.

32-gauge wire limits reach and lane count

The thin 32 AWG conductors support the stated one-metre length for SAS signalling but will not sustain longer runs or higher lane aggregates. Builders needing extended distances or wider links must select a heavier-gauge assembly.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 AWG conductors need periodic replacement under normal use?

The 32 AWG wiring is built to industrial specification and does not have a scheduled replacement interval.

What throughput limit appears first during continuous operation?

The cable carries SAS signals through an SFF-8654 8i connector to two SFF-8643 4i connectors without an active repeater, so the passive copper length sets the practical distance ceiling.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat or noise when run all day?

As a passive copper assembly it produces no audible noise and negligible heat during sustained operation.
