SFF8482 SAS 29+15P to SATA 7P cable with gold connectors and latch

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF8482 SAS 29+15P to SATA 7P Cable

SKU CH-KPAR-HFZRB

Connects SAS drives with combined 29+15-pin SFF8482 interface to motherboard SATA ports using gold-plated, latched and shielded cable for server and NAS storage

  • Connects SAS drives to SATA motherboards via SFF8482 29+15P to SATA 7P design
  • Goldplated contacts ensure stable highspeed signal and power transmission
  • Secure latching connectors prevent accidental disconnection inside vibrating server chassis
  • Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference for consistent data performance
  • Built for server, NAS, RAID array and internal motherboard storage setups

Server storage connectivity

The SMUGDESK SFF8482 SAS 29+15P to SATA 7P cable links SAS or SATA hard drives and SSDs to a compatible motherboard inside server and NAS enclosures. Its combined 29+15pin connector carries both data signals and power, converting to a standard SATA 7pin interface for direct board attachment. Goldplated contacts reduce signal loss and resist oxidation during continuous operation in server cabinets.

Builders with SAS-ready controllers

This cable suits system integrators assembling RAID arrays or replacing drives in servers and NAS units that already present a SAS-enabled HBA or motherboard port. It will not help users whose boards only provide SATA controllers, because ordinary SATA-only motherboards cannot recognise SAS drives even with the physical adapter in place. Buyers needing a pure SATA-to-SATA link or external connectivity should look at other cable types.

Straightforward internal routing

The shielded, flexible jacket bends easily around tight chassis spaces and withstands repeated handling during hardware swaps. Built-in locking latches click onto the drive and board connectors to prevent accidental disconnection caused by vibration. Installation simply requires aligning the keyed SFF8482 plug and pressing until the latch engages; the main risk is attempting to use the cable with a SATA-only controller, which will leave the drive undetected.

Questions about this item

Do I need a SAS-enabled motherboard or HBA controller for this SFF8482 cable to work?

Yes. The 29+15pin connector supplies both data and power to SAS drives, but the host must provide a SAS interface. Ordinary SATA-only motherboards cannot recognise SAS hard drives even with this physical adapter.

Can I connect a SATA SSD to this cable alongside older SAS drives in the same server?

The cable terminates in a standard SATA 7pin data connector, so a SATA SSD will link electrically. However the host controller must still be SAS-capable; a SATA-only board will not drive the SAS side of the chain.

How can I verify the gold-plated contacts and locking latches are seated correctly after installation?

Press each connector until the latch clicks audibly and the gold contacts are fully hidden inside the port. A firm tug should not dislodge the cable, confirming secure contact for stable signal and power delivery.
