SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8088 to SFF8643 Cable 0.5m 28AWG

SKU CH-EBCN-W1KB7

Connects external SFF8088 to internal SFF8643 for 6Gbps SAS links using 28AWG copper in a .5m flat-connector design

  • Dual internal and external server connectivity via SFF8088 to SFF8643
  • Stable 6Gbps data transfer for enterprise storage and RAID systems
  • 28AWG pure copper conductors minimise signal loss for reliable performance
  • Black flat-profile connector saves space and enables tidy routing
  • 5m length optimised for short-haul internal-external inter-device links

Dual-use SAS cable for enterprise storage

This SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD cable bridges an external SFF8088 port to an internal SFF8643 interface, enabling both internal and external server-to-storage links. It targets system integrators and IT administrators deploying RAID arrays or upgrading enterprise drive enclosures where a short, reliable interconnect is required.

Flat connector and 28AWG copper improve routing

The black flat-profile connector saves space inside dense chassis and simplifies tidy cable management. Premium 28AWG pure copper conductors with shielding reduce electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation, delivering steady 6Gbps throughput for demanding storage workloads.

0.5 m length limits use to short-haul links

At half a metre the cable only suits adjacent devices such as a backplane-to-controller or direct enclosure-to-HBA run. Builders needing longer rack-to-rack or cross-chassis connections must select a different length.

Questions about this item

Will the 28AWG copper conductors need periodic replacement in a RAID array?

The 28AWG pure copper conductors are built for long‑term reliable performance and do not require scheduled replacement under normal server use.

What is the maximum sustained data rate the SFF8088 to SFF8643 link can maintain?

The cable supports a steady 6Gbps transmission rate, which is the limiting factor for sustained throughput on this connection.

Does the flat connector design affect heat buildup during all‑day operation?

The black flat‑shaped connector is a passive component; it generates no heat and does not alter the thermal profile of the attached SAS devices.
