What the product is

The Qnap CAB-SAS05M-8644 is a 0.5 metre Mini-SAS cable fitted with SFF-8644 male connectors on both ends. It is designed to link compatible QNAP expansion units to a host controller for external storage connectivity.

Who this suits

This cable suits administrators adding a REXP-1220U-RP or REXP-1620U-RP enclosure to an existing SAS-12G2E-D or SAS-12G2E-U controller. Builders who need a different connector type, a longer run, or an internal Mini-SAS HD layout should look at other cable options.

Behaviour under sustained load

The passive copper construction maintains the 12 Gbit/s SAS signal across the 1.64 ft length without active equalisation. Signal integrity remains stable during continuous high-throughput transfers between the controller and the attached expansion chassis.

Questions about this item

Does my enclosure need an SFF-8644 port to use this cable?

Yes, both ends of this cable use an SFF-8644 male Mini-SAS connector, so the connected devices must each provide a matching SFF-8644 port.

Will this cable link a REXP-1620U-RP expansion unit to a SAS-12G2E-D controller?

Yes, the cable is listed as compatible with the REXP-1620U-RP and the SAS-12G2E-D, so it can connect that expansion unit to that controller.

After connecting the cable, how can I confirm the link is running at 12 Gb/s?

Check the controller management interface; it should report a negotiated 12 Gb/s link speed on the port where the cable is installed.
