Dell PERC SAS RAID Cable
This 17-inch Dell PERC Dual Mini SAS cable connects a RAID controller to the 10-bay backplane in PowerEdge R630 and R730 servers. It is built for administrators who need a direct replacement link for internal storage arrays. The SFF-8643 connectors mate with the controller and backplane without adapters. Buyers who need a different length or a single-connector cable cannot use this part.
Thermals and Power
The passive shielded cable carries 12Gbps SAS 3.0 signals without active components, so it adds no heat or noise to the chassis. Power draw is limited to the signalling current supplied by the controller and backplane. No fan or external power connection is required. Installers who expect active signal conditioning will not find it here.
Build and Connectors
Dual male Mini SAS HD plugs lock into the PERC controller and the SFF backplane with a positive latch. The 17-inch routing suits the standard drive-bay spacing in R630 and R730 2.5-inch chassis. Shielded construction protects signal integrity across the full length. Technicians working in larger enclosures or with 3.5-inch trays may find the reach too short.

Questions about this item
How is the 17-inch dual Mini SAS HD cable installed between the PERC controller and the 10-bay backplane in an R630?
Route the 17-inch cable from the PERC controller SFF-8643 ports to the matching backplane connectors, ensuring the latch tabs click fully into place on both ends.
What maintenance or replacement will the SFF-8643 connectors and shielding need over time?
Inspect the latch tabs and shielded jacket during any drive bay service; replace the cable if tabs are cracked or the shielding shows kinks or abrasion.
What limit appears first on this cable when the server runs sustained 12Gbps SAS 3.0 traffic?
The 17-inch shielded assembly is rated for 12Gbps SAS 3.0; signal integrity at that rate is the first boundary under continuous heavy I/O.
