Internal SAS interconnect

This Vszerda cable links two SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD ports inside a chassis. It suits builders wiring RAID controllers, JBOD enclosures or backplanes that use the high-density connector. The male-to-male assembly arrives new and ready for internal routing.

Build integration

The 1.0 metre length reaches between adjacent drive cages or from a controller card to a backplane without excess slack. Thirty-six pins carry four lanes of SAS traffic through a 30 AWG black jacket. No shielding is fitted, so keep the run clear of noisy power cables.

Capacity and headroom

Rated for SAS 3.0 at 12 Gb/s per lane, the cable also supports SAS 2.1 at 6 Gb/s for older gear. It handles four simultaneous 12 Gb/s lanes, saturating typical SSD or HDD arrays. Builds needing external ports or higher lane counts will need different cabling.

Questions about this item

What maximum data rate does the 12Gb/s SFF-8643 cable sustain under continuous load?

The cable is rated for 12Gb/s SAS 3.0 and remains compliant with the SAS 2.1 6Gb/s specification for backward compatibility.

Does the 30AWG unshielded cable generate noticeable heat or signal degradation during all-day operation?

The 30AWG construction carries the 12Gb/s signal without active cooling; heat rise is minimal inside a typical chassis airflow.

Which host-side connector must my backplane or HBA already provide for this male-to-male SFF-8643 assembly?

The cable requires a female SFF-8643 port on both the controller and the drive backplane to complete the 36-pin link.
