Cable purpose and fit

The LSI LSI00400 is a 0.6 metre internal cable that connects a SFF8643 mini SAS HD port to a SFF8087 mini SAS port. It is built for server builders and storage administrators who need a short, reliable link between a modern controller and legacy backplanes or drive cages. The cable suits rackmount chassis where internal routing space is limited and a direct SAS connection is required.

Sustained data behaviour

The cable supports 3Gb, 6Gb, and 12Gb SAS devices, allowing it to carry continuous throughput at the highest rated speed of attached drives or expanders. Signal integrity is maintained over the full length during prolonged read or write workloads such as backup streams or database logging. No speed negotiation issues are introduced by the connector transition.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper assembly the cable draws no power and generates no audible noise. It adds negligible heat inside the chassis and requires no active cooling or airflow consideration. The thin profile aids cable management without obstructing intake fans or other components.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.6 m SFF8643-to-SFF8087 cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when run continuously in a server?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active components, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw during continuous operation.

What connectors must my controller and backplane already have for this LSI00400 cable to plug in directly?

One end requires a mini SAS HD (SFF8643) port on the controller, and the other end needs a mini SAS (SFF8087) port on the backplane or expander.

Will this 12 Gb-rated cable work reliably with older 3 Gb and 6 Gb SAS drives and controllers I already own?

Yes, the cable supports 3 Gb, 6 Gb and 12 Gb signalling, so it is fully backward-compatible with existing slower SAS devices.
