9.84 ft SAS InfiniBand Cable
The Tripp Lite N280-03M-BK is a black SAS InfiniBand cable measuring 9.84 ft in length. It is built for server and storage environments that require a direct SAS link between compatible controllers and enclosures. The open-box condition means the original packaging may show wear, but the cable itself is unused.
Single Connector Design
This model ships with a single connector end, which changes how the cable integrates into an existing SAS chain. Installers must verify that the opposing port matches the required interface before deployment. The single-ended configuration limits use to point-to-point links where the second connector is already present on the target device.
9.84 ft Reach and Signal Headroom
The 9.84 ft length provides enough slack for rack-to-rack or shelf-to-shelf routing without excessive coil. Signal integrity holds across standard SAS speeds at this distance, but runs longer than 9.84 ft will require active or optical extensions. Builders needing dual-ended cables or greater reach should select a different part number.

Questions about this item
Will the SAS connectors on this cable need periodic replacement?
The cable uses fixed SAS connectors at each end; they are not designed for field replacement, so the entire cable would be swapped if a connector fails.
What length-related limit appears first during sustained high-speed SAS traffic?
At 9.84 ft the cable reaches the practical distance where signal attenuation can become the limiting factor before connector wear does.
How much heat does the cable generate when running SAS data all day?
The passive copper construction produces negligible heat during continuous SAS operation; no active cooling is required.
