  • Builtin latch design prevents loose connections in server cabinets
  • 2piece set with 2meter length for flexible rack wiring and expansion
  • Compatible with Supermicro, LSI/Broadcom, Intel, Dell, HP and mainstream RAID controllers

Server storage connectivity

This two-pack of external Mini SAS HD cables links SFF8644 and SFF8088 ports for 6Gbps data transfer. Each cable measures 2 metres and is built for server racks and storage backplanes.

6Gbps bandwidth ceiling

The SAS interface caps throughput at 6Gbps per lane, so total speed depends on the controller and drive configuration. Locking latches keep the connection firm under vibration, but the standard itself does not scale beyond this rate.

SFF8644 to SFF8088 adapter requirement

The cable bridges an HD Mini SAS port to a standard Mini SAS port, so both ends must match your hardware exactly. Buyers whose controllers or backplanes use only SFF8644 or only SFF8088 connectors will need a different cable or an adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the two-pack or buy cables individually?

The product is sold as a matched two-pack of 2-meter cables, giving you identical length and locking connectors for both channels in a single purchase.

What does the 6Gbps rating mean once the cable is installed in my server?

It provides up to 6Gbps bandwidth per lane for SAS traffic between a RAID controller or HBA and an external storage backplane.

How do the SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 connectors limit what I can connect?

One end plugs into a Mini SAS HD (SFF-8644) port on the controller, the other into a standard Mini SAS (SFF-8088) port on the enclosure, so both sides must match those exact interfaces.
