Dual-Port Mini SAS Adapter for 12 Gb/s Links

This adapter converts two external Mini SAS SFF-8088 ports to internal SFF-8643 connectors on a single PCBA. It ships with a low-profile bracket for compact chassis and server installations. The connectors follow the SAS 3.0 specification for 12 Gb/s operation. Builders attaching external SAS enclosures to internal controllers use this part.

Not for single-port cabling

Buyers who need only one external link will find an unused port on this dual-port assembly. The board provides no drive-side connectors, so it cannot plug straight into a backplane without a separate cable. Systems without a low-profile slot cannot mount the included bracket.
