1 metre internal breakout cable with Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to four SFF-8482 connectors, dual power leads

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 1M 12Gbps Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to 4 SFF-8482 Breakout Cable

SKU CH-VPJX-24B0Q

A 1-metre internal breakout cable splits one Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 port into four SFF-8482 connectors for simultaneous 12 Gbps SAS 3.0 drive links

  • Connect four drives from one controller with SFF-8643 to four SFF-8482 breakout
  • Maintain 12Gbps SAS 3.0 throughput for multi-disk concurrent workloads
  • Power drives directly via integrated Molex and 15Pin SATA connectors
  • Shielded construction prevents EMI faults during 24/7 RAID operation
  • 1m length enables tidy routing without blocking 2.5 and 3.5-inch drive airflow

Connection layout

This breakout cable converts a single Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 port into four independent SFF-8482 connectors. It enables simultaneous attachment of up to four SAS or SATA hard drives to a RAID controller or HBA. The 1-metre length suits standard server chassis routing.

Power and shielding

Integrated 4-pin Molex and 15-pin SATA power plugs deliver drive power directly from the cable, reducing separate wiring inside the cabinet. Double-layer foil and braid shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference for continuous 12Gbps SAS 3.0 operation. Locking latches on each SFF-8482 port resist vibration in rack environments.

Target use and limits

Suited for administrators expanding 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive arrays in enterprise servers, NAS units or JBOD enclosures that use SFF-8643 host ports. Not intended for systems lacking Molex or SATA power headers, for external drive enclosures, or for installations requiring longer cable runs.

Questions about this item

How many drives can the single SFF-8643 connector support at 12Gbps?

The SFF-8643 input splits into four independent SFF-8482 ports, letting you connect four SAS or SATA hard drives simultaneously at 12Gbps SAS 3.0 speed.

Will the shielding hold up during continuous 24/7 RAID operation inside a vibrating rack?

Double-layer foil and braided shielding suppresses electromagnetic crosstalk, and each SFF-8482 port has a locking buckle to prevent drop-off during non-stop use.

Do I need separate power cables for the drives, or does this cable provide power?

Integrated 4-pin IDE Molex and 15-pin SATA power connectors supply drive power directly, so no separate power cords are required.
