External SAS connectivity

This Mini SAS HD cable bridges an SFF-8088 68-pin male port to two SFF-8644 36-pin male ports for enterprise storage links. It targets administrators wiring external RAID enclosures or JBODs to host bus adapters in rackmount servers. The 100 cm length suits typical rack-to-rack runs without excess slack. Secure locking connectors resist vibration in dense chassis.

12 Gbps per lane headroom

Each of the eight lanes carries up to 12 Gbps, giving aggregate bandwidth for multi-drive arrays and backup workloads. The Y-split design fans out one controller port to two enclosures, doubling device count per HBA slot. Performance scales with the slowest attached device; older 6 Gbps drives will not saturate the link. Cable length and EMI shielding preserve signal quality at the rated speed.

SFF-8088 and SFF-8644 limits

The SFF-8088 plug is defined for external copper SAS up to the stated lane rate; longer runs or passive extensions beyond specification increase error rates. SFF-8644 receptacles on target enclosures must match the 36-pin pinout; mismatched internal connectors will not mate. This cable carries SAS protocol only and does not support other interfaces.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8088 68-pin end connect to my existing SAS controller?

The cable end is a Mini SAS HD SFF-8088 68-pin male connector that plugs into any compatible external SAS controller port.

How can I verify the 12Gbps per lane link is active after connecting the SFF-8644 ends?

Check the controller BIOS or operating-system SAS topology view; each lane should report a negotiated 12Gbps link speed with no errors.

Does the box include any brackets or adapters for the two SFF-8644 36-pin male connectors?

Only the 100cm cable with one SFF-8088 68-pin male and two SFF-8644 36-pin male connectors is supplied; no brackets or extra adapters are included.
