Connectivity

This internal cable links a 12 Gbps host or RAID controller with an SFF-8643 port to four SATA drives. It targets builders adding direct-attached storage to a high-density controller card.

Interface limits

The SFF-8643 connector carries 12 Gbps SAS signalling, while each SATA 7-pin target runs at 6 Gbps. The hybrid design maintains 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps compatibility during a migration to a 12 Gbps storage area network.

Capacity and headroom

Four SATA devices attach to a single 36-pin controller port, giving a compact 50 cm reach inside a chassis. The assembly does not support backplane connections, so enclosures requiring that topology need a different cable.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a longer or shorter cable for my server build?

The cable is 1.64ft (50cm) long, suitable for typical internal chassis routing from a RAID controller to nearby drive bays.

What does the 12 Gbps rating mean for my SATA drives?

The 12 Gbps rating is the SAS host link speed; each SATA drive will operate at its native 6 Gbps limit through the forward breakout.

Does the SFF-8643 connector work with standard SAS backplanes?

The SFF-8643 male header is designed for direct host or RAID controller connection and does not support backplane use.
