Black flat Mini SAS HD SFF-8088 26Pin to SFF-8644 cable, 3m length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF-8088 26Pin to SFF-8644 3m Cable

SKU CH-MNGA-R5P76

Connects SFF-8088 26-pin to SFF-8644 for server-to-storage cascading at 6 Gbps over 3 metres

  • Connect servers to storage with SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 stacking cable
  • Maintain 6Gbps throughput for SAS drives and RAID controllers
  • Reduce signal loss using 28AWG pure copper conductors
  • Improve rack airflow with low-profile flat black connectors
  • Reach distant enclosures across 3 metre cable length

Server stacking cable

This SMUGDESK cable links an SFF-8088 26Pin port to an SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD port for cascading servers and storage enclosures. It targets system integrators and data-centre operators who need reliable SAS connectivity between rack-mounted units.

6 Gbps SAS bandwidth

The assembly is rated for 6 Gbps transmission, the single figure that determines whether the link can sustain the throughput required by SAS HDDs, SSDs and RAID controllers. If the attached subsystem demands a higher signalling rate this cable will become the bottleneck.

28 AWG copper for sustained runs

Pure copper conductors at 28 AWG minimise signal degradation over the 3 metre span, maintaining link integrity during continuous heavy I/O rather than only during brief bursts. The flat black connector profile also preserves airflow in dense racks, reducing thermal stress on adjacent components during prolonged operation.

Questions about this item

What does the 6 Gbps rating mean for my SAS drives and RAID controller?

The cable supports up to 6 Gbps per lane so each connected SAS HDD, SSD or RAID controller can run at its full native speed without the cable becoming a bottleneck.

How do the SFF-8088 and SFF-8644 connectors differ and what does that limit?

One end uses the 26-pin SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD interface and the other uses the SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD interface; the link will operate at the lowest common speed of the two attached ports.

Will the flat black connectors fit in my crowded 1U rackmount chassis?

The low-profile flat connectors are designed to improve airflow and simplify routing in dense rackmount environments, helping them sit cleanly in tight 1U spaces.
