Vszerda SFF-8643 to 4× SFF-8482 SATA cable 1.6 ft

SKU CH-X2YB-GVKAK

Connects a SFF-8643 host or RAID controller to four SFF-8482 SAS drives with integrated SATA 15-pin power, 1.6 ft length

  • Connects 12 Gbps RAID controller to four SAS drives via SFF-8643 host
  • Includes SATA 15-pin power port for direct drive power delivery
  • Supports 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps compatibility during 12 Gbps migration
  • Woven mesh sheath and acetate tape protect cables during routing
  • 64 ft length with P1-P4 markers for easy port identification

Host-to-target cable

This new Vszerda cable connects a host or RAID controller with an SFF-8643 port to four SFF-8482 SAS drives. The 36-pin male connector plugs into the controller while four 29-pin female connectors attach to the target devices. A 15-pin SATA power port is integrated for the drives. It suits builders adding direct-attached storage to a compatible controller.

Installation notes

The 1.64 ft ribbon assembly is wrapped in acetate cloth tape and a half-length woven mesh sheath for strain relief without rigidity. P1 to P4 markers on the breakout ends identify each drive lane after routing. The short length fits tight server chassis but limits placement flexibility in larger enclosures. Ensure the controller bracket clears the 36-pin plug before ordering.

Deciding specification

The cable carries 12 Gbps SAS signals and remains compatible with 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps devices during migration. It is listed as compatible with Adaptec RAID 71605 and 7895 storage controllers. Verify that your controller presents an SFF-8643 host port and that the backplane uses SFF-8482 29-pin connectors before purchasing.
