Product Identity

The HPE 716197-B21 is a 2.0 metre Mini-SAS HD extension cable built for server and storage arrays. It links two Mini-SAS HD ports using copper conductors inside a black jacket.

Suitability

This cable suits administrators who need a short, direct Mini-SAS HD link between a controller and a backplane or expansion shelf. It does not suit buyers who need a longer reach, a different connector type, or a breakout to multiple targets.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 2.0 metre length with Mini-SAS HD connectors on both ends. Only systems with matching ports and a 6.56 ft routing path can use this part.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.0 m length mean when the cable is routed inside a server rack?

The 2.0 m Mini-SAS HD extension cable spans 6.56 ft between two SAS devices, giving enough slack for neat cable management in a standard rack without excess coil.

How does the Mini-SAS HD interface limit the SAS link in practice?

The Mini-SAS HD connectors on both ends carry the SAS signal over copper conductors, supporting the lane count and speed of the attached controllers without adding an active component.

What clearance is needed for the Mini-SAS HD plugs to seat correctly?

Each end uses a straight Mini-SAS HD connector; allow space for the latch and cable bend radius so the plug seats fully in the port without strain.
