Connector Gender Changer for PCIe 4.0

This adapter converts an internal SFF-8673 1x2 Mini SAS HD port to an external SFF-8674 1x2 Mini SAS HD port. It supports PCIe 4.0 signals and includes onboard 12 V to 3.3 V buck controllers with a 6.5 A current limit. The unit is designed for Broadcom 95xx and 96xx series add-in cards.

Target Use and Limitations

It suits integrators linking internal RAID controllers or HBAs to external storage enclosures using SAS connections. Buyers who need a different connector family, a passive adapter without power conversion, or a form factor not listed here should look elsewhere.

Decisive Specification

The changer type is PCIe Gen4 and it complies with SFF-9402 Rev 1.1, SFF-TA-8613 R 3.5 and SFF-TA-8614 R 3.4. This defines the signal integrity and mechanical interface for the conversion.
