Connecting SFF-8643 to SFF-8087

This Vszerda internal cable bridges a Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 host port to a Mini SAS SFF-8087 target port. It is built for servers, RAID systems, storage arrays and SAS or SATA HBA interfaces where a short 0.5 metre link is required. The male-to-male assembly ships as a pair of cables.

12 Gbps data rate support

The cable carries 12 gigabits per second and complies with SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 interface specifications. Twin axial construction keeps the AWG 30 conductors compact while preserving signal integrity at that speed. No other bandwidth or protocol is claimed.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper assembly the cable draws no power and produces no acoustic noise. Heat generation is negligible in normal operation. The 0.5 metre length helps minimise resistive loss inside the chassis.

Questions about this item

What does the 12Gbps rating mean for actual throughput between a RAID controller and a backplane?

The cable supports SAS 3.0 signalling at 12 gigabits per second per lane, matching the speed ceiling of current 12Gbps SAS and SATA controllers and backplanes.

Which SAS specification versions does the SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 interface cover?

It is built to the SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 interface specifications, so it works with both 6Gbps and 12Gbps SAS and SATA equipment.

What clearance and connector space does the 0.5 metre assembly need inside a server chassis?

The 0.5 metre length and AWG 30 twin-axial construction keep the cable flexible for tight routing between a host SFF-8643 port and a target SFF-8087 backplane.
