SFF-8643 to 4× SFF-8482 fan-out cable

This cable connects a SAS controller with an SFF-8643 port to four SATA or SAS drives using SFF-8482 connectors. It is intended for builders adding direct-attached storage to a server or workstation. The 12 Gb/s rating supports current SAS and SATA speeds. Buyers who need to connect drives to a backplane SFF-8643 port cannot use this cable.

Build quality and daily connector use

The assembly terminates in four 29-pin SFF-8482 plugs and a single SFF-8643 host plug with a 15-pin power port. The fan-out design keeps cable routing tidy inside a chassis. The SFF-8643 end must attach to a controller or motherboard port; it will not function when plugged into a backplane.

Bundled power port and compatibility

A 15-pin power connector is integrated on the host side so the controller can supply drive power through the same cable. No additional adapters or software are included. The cable works with any SAS controller that presents an SFF-8643 interface and drives that accept SFF-8482 connections.

Questions about this item

What does the 12Gb/s SFF-8643 interface cap in real use?

The SFF-8643 host connector supports 12Gb/s SAS signalling, so each of the four lanes can reach that speed when the controller and drives also run at 12Gb/s.

What clearance and connectors does the cable need to fit?

It needs a free SFF-8643 port on the controller, four SFF-8482 29-pin drive bays, and a 15-pin SATA power plug from the PSU for the power port.

How is the cable installed and which step is often missed?

Plug the SFF-8643 end into the RAID card or motherboard, attach the four SFF-8482 ends to the drives, then connect the 15-pin power port — forgetting the power connection is the common mistake.
