Internal 12 Gbps SAS cable

The Vszerda Internal Mini SAS HD cable links an SFF-8643 controller port to an SFF-8643 backplane or expander. It carries up to four lanes of SAS data at 12 Gbps and includes a sideband connection for enclosure management. The 0.8 m length suits compact server chassis and short internal runs.

For HBA or RAID card integrators

Builders wiring a Broadcom 9400-16i, LSI 9300-8i or Adaptec 71605 to a 16-bay or 216-bay SAS/SATA backplane will find the pinout and shielding match the SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specifications. The thin 30 AWG ribbon construction eases routing and helps maintain airflow. Installations that need external connectors, longer cables or a different lane count should select another part.

SFF-8643 male-to-male with sideband

The decisive spec is the SFF-8643 male-to-male interface combined with sideband support, which determines whether the cable fits your controller and backplane pair. Verify that both ends of your link use SFF-8643 and require the sideband signal before ordering.
