A blue Mini SAS HD SFF8644 cable splits into two SFF8482 SATA connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 to SFF8482 2in1 SAS cable

SKU CH-0A4A-AENDA

Converts one SFF8644 Mini SAS HD port to two SFF8482 SATA drive ports for storage expansion

  • 2-in-1 breakout converts one SFF8644 port to dual SFF8482 SATA drives
  • 28AWG pure copper conductors deliver stable 12Gbps bandwidth for SAS and SATA
  • Shielded harness reduces interference for reliable HDD, SSD and RAID operation
  • External-to-internal design supports server, JBOD and multi-drive storage expansion
  • 1 metre length enables flexible routing in rackmount servers and NAS enclosures

Purpose-built breakout cable

This SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 to SFF8482 2in1 cable converts a single SFF8644 port into two SFF8482 29pin SATA connections for HDD or SSD expansion. It suits administrators adding drives to servers, JBOD enclosures or NAS units where external-to-internal cabling is required.

Signal integrity over one metre

The 28AWG pure copper conductors and shielded harness maintain stable 12Gbps throughput across the full 1m length while suppressing interference in dense rackmount layouts. Normal operation stays within the thermal and power envelope of standard SAS and SATA controllers without additional cooling.

One-to-two port multiplication

The 2in1 breakout design is the deciding specification: it doubles drive connectivity from a single Mini SAS HD interface, so buyers needing more than two drives per port or a different connector family must choose another cable.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the single SFF8644 Mini SAS HD port to two drives using this 2in1 cable?

Plug the SFF8644 end into the controller port, then attach each SFF8482 29pin connector to a SAS or SATA drive; the 1meter 28AWG copper harness carries 12Gbps signals to both drives simultaneously.

What upkeep does the 28AWG copper harness and shielding require over time?

No scheduled maintenance is needed; inspect the connectors and shielding for dust or physical damage when servicing the chassis, and reseat the SFF8644 and SFF8482 plugs if intermittent errors appear.

At what point does the 1meter 28AWG cable hit its signal limit under continuous 12Gbps load?

The 28AWG copper conductors are rated for 12Gbps across the full 1meter length; sustained throughput stays within spec as long as the controller and drives maintain link speed and the shielding remains intact.
