Short .5m cable with one SFF-8643 plug fanning to four SFF-8482 29Pin connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS SFF-8643 to 4× SFF-8482 29Pin .5m SAS cable

SKU CH-N5W1-KRPR0

Connects one Mini SAS SFF-8643 controller to four SFF-8482 29Pin drives at 6Gbps over a .5m shielded cable

  • One Mini SAS SFF-8643 host port connects four SFF-8482 29Pin drives
  • 6Gbps bandwidth supports high-speed server RAID storage arrays
  • 5m length keeps internal server wiring tidy and manageable
  • Multi-layer shielding cuts electromagnetic interference for error-free data transfer
  • Precision-moulded terminals stay firmly seated under continuous vibration

Mini SAS SFF-8643 breakout cable

This 0.5-metre cable connects a single SFF-8643 Mini SAS host port to four SFF-8482 29Pin drive connectors. It supports transmission speeds up to 6Gbps for server RAID configurations. Multi-layer shielding reduces electromagnetic interference during continuous operation. The short length simplifies internal cable routing inside server chassis.

Suited for RAID arrays with SFF-8482 drives

Builders expanding SAS hard disk groups on RAID controllers or storage servers will find this cable matches their port layout. It is not suited for connections requiring SFF-8643 target ports or drives with different connector types. The fixed 0.5-metre reach may not span larger enclosures or external drive shelves. Vibration-resistant moulded terminals maintain contact in long-term deployments.

SFF-8643 host to four SFF-8482 29Pin

The single specification that decides compatibility is the connector pairing: one SFF-8643 host end splitting to four SFF-8482 29Pin drive ends. Verify that your RAID controller presents an SFF-8643 port and that each target drive uses the 29Pin interface. Maximum supported bandwidth is 6Gbps. Cable length is 0.5 metre.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8643 or SFF-8482 connectors need replacement after extended use?

The connectors are precisely moulded for tight plugging and resist loosening under long-time vibration, so they are not a routine maintenance item.

What limits continuous 6Gbps throughput over the 0.5m length?

Multi-layer shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference, preventing data errors that would otherwise throttle sustained transfers.

How much heat or noise does the cable add when running all day in a server?

The passive shielded design generates no noise and negligible heat, leaving thermal and acoustic load unchanged inside the chassis.
