SFF-8644 12 Gb/s cable, 0.5 m

This Vszerda cable carries 12 Gb/s SAS traffic between two SFF-8644 ports. The 0.5 metre length suits rack-mounted servers or direct-attached storage shelves where devices sit close together. Shielded, shock-resistant construction protects signal integrity in dense chassis. Male-to-male connectors lock securely into HBAs, RAID controllers or backplanes.

Suits short-run 12 Gb/s links.

Administrators wiring HBAs to JBODs inside the same rack will find the half-metre reach convenient and tidy. Builders who need to span multiple racks or connect floor-standing arrays should select a longer cable. The fixed 0.5 m length cannot be extended without adding connectors that would degrade the 12 Gb/s margin.

12 Gb/s rated SFF-8644 interface

The cable meets the SAS 2.1 High Density specification and is forward-compatible with the SAS 3.0 12 Gb/s standard. Each assembly carries 16 differential lanes across the SFF-8644 x4 interface. If the host or target device only supports 6 Gb/s SAS, the link will negotiate down, but the cable itself is qualified for the full 12 Gb/s rate.

Questions about this item

What SAS host adapter port does the SFF-8644 plug into?

The cable ends in male SFF-8644 connectors that mate with an external 12 Gb/s SAS HD Mini-SAS x4 port on a RAID controller or HBA.

Will the 0.5 m cable reach between a 2.5-inch drive enclosure and a full-height PCIe card in the same chassis?

At half a metre the cable suits tight intra-chassis routing; measure your specific card-to-bay distance before ordering.

How can I confirm the link is running at 12 Gb/s after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a negotiated 12 Gb/s link speed on each of the four lanes.
