Connecting New and Legacy SAS Gear

This Vszerda cable links Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 ports to the older SFF-8087 standard. It serves builders who must attach newer back-planes or JBODs to existing RAID cards and HBAs without replacing the controller. The 12 Gbps rating supports current-generation SAS drives and expanders.

Simple Male-to-Male Plug-in

Both ends are male connectors so the cable seats directly into controller and back-plane ports. Eight conductors carry four full-duplex lanes at 12 Gbps. The multicoloured jacket helps trace each run in dense chassis, and the moulded strain relief resists accidental unplugging during drive swaps.

For Mixed-Generation SAS Chains

Suits administrators bridging 12 Gbps devices to 6 Gbps controllers or older enclosures that still use SFF-8087. Not intended for users who need SFF-8643 on both ends, external Mini SAS HD ports, or breakout cables that split one wide port into four single-lane connections.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering 12 Gbps after connecting it?

Check the link speed reported by your SAS controller or RAID card firmware; it should show a negotiated 12 Gbps connection on the SFF-8643 and SFF-8087 ports.

What comes in the package and what must I source separately?

The box contains one 1 M Mini SAS HD cable with male SFF-8643 and male SFF-8087 connectors; you will need compatible SAS controllers, RAID cards or motherboards with matching ports.

Which version should I choose if my controller has an SFF-8643 port and my backplane uses SFF-8087?

This SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 cable is the correct version for bridging a Mini SAS HD controller to a legacy SFF-8087 backplane or enclosure.
