Connection layout

This BUCIER cable bridges a single 36 pin SFF-8643 port on a host bus adapter or RAID controller to four SATA drives. The 0.5 metre ribbon uses 30 AWG conductors and supports 12 Gbps on the Mini SAS side with 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps SATA compatibility. Latching connectors on both ends secure the link inside a chassis.

Who it suits

Storage builders expanding a server or workstation with 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA I, II and III hard drives will find the forward breakout layout a direct fit. The cable is not wired for reverse operation, so systems where the SATA side acts as the host cannot use it. Installations requiring longer reach or a different breakout count need another solution.

Deciding spec

The 36 pin SFF-8643 male host connector with latch determines whether this cable matches your controller. Verify that the RAID card or motherboard presents exactly this port before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 36 pin SFF-8643 male connector and which orientation step is often missed?

Align the latch on the 36 pin HD Mini-SAS SFF-8643 male plug with the controller receptacle and press until the latch clicks; the four SATA receptacles are labelled P1 to P4 for drive mapping.

What upkeep or replacement should I expect for the 30 AWG ribbon and woven mesh sheath?

The 30 AWG Style 207044 flat ribbon with acetate cloth tape and woven mesh sheath needs no scheduled maintenance; replace the cable only if the latch tabs break or the ribbon shows kinks.

At what throughput limit does the assembly saturate first under sustained transfer?

Each of the four SATA 6 Gbps device links reaches its ceiling before the 12 Gbps host link, so the per-drive 6 Gbps SATA III limit appears first.
