Server storage cable

This 0.5 metre cable links a single Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 host port to four SAS 29-pin SFF-8482 drive connectors. It lets administrators attach up to four SAS or SATA disks to a compatible RAID or HBA controller in dense server chassis.

Sustained 6 Gbps throughput

The assembly follows the SAS 2.1 specification and maintains 6 gigabits per second across each of the four lanes during continuous read or write workloads. Shielded 1-to-4 construction preserves signal integrity over the full length without the errors seen in cheaper unshielded looms.

Passive thermal profile

As a copper cable it draws no power and adds no acoustic noise to the rack. The low-profile connectors fit tight backplane spacing while the 50 centimetre reach keeps cable management tidy in 1U and 2U enclosures.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.5 m length add noticeable signal loss or heat when the cable runs all day at 6 Gbps?

The copper cable meets the SAS 2.1 specification for 6 Gbps, so a 0.5 m run stays within the standard’s signal-integrity and thermal limits for continuous operation.

What controller port must my server or RAID card already provide for the SFF-8643 host connector to plug in?

You need a Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 host port; the cable will not work with a PCIe SFF-8643 controller.

Can I attach my older 29-pin SAS or SATA drives directly to the four SFF-8482 device ends?

Yes, each of the four SFF-8482 connectors accepts a standard 29-pin SAS or SATA drive.
