Black SFF-8643 to four SFF-8482 fan-out cable with 15-pin power port, .5m

ETopSell

ETopSell SFF-8643 to 4x SFF-8482 SAS cable .5m

SKU CH-C8S7-KT7C5

Internal Mini SAS SFF-8643 cable fans out to four 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors with a 15-pin power port for connecting a SAS controller to four SATA/SAS drives

Length 1.64 ft. (0.5m)

  • Connects a SAS controller to four drives via SFF-8643 to SFF-8482
  • Includes 15-pin power port for direct drive power
  • 0 AWG gauge supports reliable signal integrity
  • 5 m length fits compact server chassis
  • Black and blue colour coding simplifies port identification

Controller-to-Disk Fan-Out Cable

This new ETopSell cable converts a single internal Mini SAS SFF-8643 host port into four 29-pin SFF-8482 target connectors. It includes a 15-pin SAS power port for attached drives. The 0.5 m length suits tight server or workstation chassis. Builders connecting a RAID controller to multiple disks use this adapter.

Suits RAID-to-Disk Builds; Not for Backplane Links

The cable works when the SFF-8643 side plugs into a controller card or motherboard header. It will not function if that same connector sits on a backplane. Buyers who need a backplane-to-controller link or a cable without the integrated power port should look at something else.

Host-Port Orientation Decides Compatibility

The SFF-8643 end must attach to the host controller; the four SFF-8482 ends attach to the drives. Reversing this order prevents operation. Verify the controller location before purchase.

Questions about this item

What connectors and cables are included with the ETopSell SFF-8643 to 4x SFF-8482 cable, and is a separate power cable needed?

The cable has one SFF-8643 Mini SAS connector on the host side and four 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors on the drive side. A 15-pin SAS power port is integrated into the assembly, so no separate power cable is required for the drives.

The title lists a 0.5 m length — how do I decide whether this or a longer version is right for my chassis?

The supplied length is 0.5 m (1.6 ft). Choose this version when the SAS controller and the four drives are close together inside the same enclosure; a longer cable is only needed if the routing distance exceeds that.

What does the 30.0 gauge rating mean for real-world drive performance once the cable is installed?

The 30.0 gauge wire supports standard SAS and SATA signalling between the controller and each drive. It does not limit the interface speed; the actual throughput is determined by the controller and the drives themselves.
