Two 1.5 FT SAS cables with SFF8654 38Pin and SFF8643 36Pin connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF8654 38Pin to SFF8643 36Pin SAS cable 1.5 FT 2PCS

SKU CH-M338-DQ6SE

Two 1.5 FT Slim SAS SFF8654 38Pin to Mini SAS HD SFF8643 36Pin cables for compact server storage wiring

  • Two-cable pack simplifies multi-channel server storage builds
  • SFF-8654 38-pin host to SFF-8643 36-pin target enables cross-interface connectivity
  • Slim SAS design supports high-speed SAS data transmission
  • 5 FT short length keeps internal wiring tidy and organised
  • Shielded construction reduces signal loss in Supermicro, Dell and HPE servers

Dual-pack SAS interconnect for server storage

This two-piece cable set connects a Slim SAS SFF8654 38Pin host port to a Mini SAS HD SFF8643 36Pin target port inside enterprise servers. Each 1.5 FT assembly is built for high-speed SAS data transmission and fits standard drive backplanes in Supermicro, Dell and HPE platforms. The dual-pack format supports multi-channel storage configurations without sourcing individual cables.

Shielded construction for sustained signal integrity

Internal shielding reduces attenuation and crosstalk during continuous heavy I/O workloads such as database arrays or backup streams. The short 1.5 FT run keeps latency low and prevents the signal degradation that longer, unshielded runs can introduce under sustained load. Connectors lock securely to maintain contact through vibration and thermal cycling.

Replaces mismatched or legacy interconnects

The cable upgrades older Mini SAS HD links to the newer Slim SAS host interface without replacing backplanes or controllers. It is worth deploying when a server refresh introduces SFF8654 host ports but the existing drive enclosures or expanders still present SFF8643 connectors. Builders needing longer reach or a different pin count should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.5 FT cable length help reduce signal loss or heat buildup in a fully populated server?

The 1.5 FT compact length optimizes internal wiring layout and avoids cable clutter, while built-in high-quality shielding ensures low signal attenuation and anti-interference performance for stable SAS data transmission.

What host-side interface must the server or controller provide for the SFF8654 38Pin connector to plug in?

The cable requires a Slim SAS SFF8654 4i 38Pin host interface on the server or controller side to accept the host connector.

Can the SFF8643 36Pin target end connect to existing Mini SAS HD backplanes in current Dell or HPE servers?

Yes, the SFF8643 36Pin target connector is Mini SAS HD compatible and fits mainstream server brands including Dell and HPE for SAS hard drive expansion or replacement.
