SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 12 Gbps Cable

This 2 metre Mini-SAS HD cable links two external SFF-8644 ports. It is built for storage administrators who need a direct device-to-device link in a rack or enclosure. The 28 AWG conductors support 12 Gbps throughput. Protective caps and pull tabs protect the gold-plated contacts during handling.

Suits SAN and JBOD links.

The assembly fits external SFF-8644 sockets on RAID controllers, drive enclosures and JBOD units. It is not for installations that require internal Mini-SAS HD breakout cables or legacy multi-lane connectors. Buyers needing longer reaches or different connector types should select another cable.

12 Gbps transfer rate over 2 metres

The cable is rated for 12 Gbps aggregate bandwidth across four lanes. This speed exceeds eSATA, USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt for short-run storage traffic. Backward compatibility with earlier SAS revisions ensures the link negotiates down to the highest common rate.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to connect two SFF-8644 devices?

The package contains the 2 metre SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable with protective caps and pull tabs already fitted. No extra parts are required; both ends plug directly into the external mini-SAS HD ports on your storage devices.

The listing mentions 12 Gbps and 1.50 GB/s — which figure should I use when choosing this cable for a 12 Gbps RAID controller?

Use the 12 Gbps rating; it matches the controller's interface speed. The 1.50 GB/s figure is the equivalent throughput in gigabytes per second, so the same cable satisfies both specifications.

Will the 12 Gbps rating actually be reached inside a typical server chassis with this 2 metre length?

The cable is specified for 12 Gbps over its full 2 metre length and uses 28 AWG conductors with shielding to maintain signal integrity in a rack environment.
