EN-Labs SAS SFF-8482 to SATA 7-pin + LP4 70 cm

SAS-to-SATA adapter cable with LP4 power

This 70 cm internal cable links a 29-pin SFF-8482 SAS drive to a SAS-compatible SATA controller while supplying drive power through a 15 cm LP4 Molex tail. It is built for technicians and system integrators who need to attach enterprise SAS storage to a standard SATA host port. The copper conductors support data rates up to 6 Gbps and the blue jacket aids cable identification in dense chassis.

Sustained 6 Gbps throughput on copper

The cable maintains its rated 6 Gbps transfer speed across the full 70 cm run without signal degradation that can appear on longer or thinner assemblies. Continuous sequential workloads such as RAID rebuilds or large-volume backups remain stable because the conductors and shielding are specified for the full SAS 6 Gbps envelope. No active circuitry is present, so latency is limited to the passive copper path alone.

Passive design eliminates heat and noise

With no onboard electronics the assembly generates zero audible noise and adds no measurable thermal load to the enclosure. Power for the drive is sourced directly from the host supply via the LP4 connector, so the cable itself draws no additional current. The passive construction also means there are no firmware or driver dependencies that could affect reliability under sustained operation.
