Vszerda SFF-8643 breakout cable

This Vszerda cable connects a single SFF-8643 Mini SAS host port to four SFF-8482 29-pin target connectors. It carries SAS 3.0 signals at up to 12 Gbps and includes an integrated 15-pin SATA power branch on the target side. The 1 metre copper assembly is built for internal server and workstation storage chains.

Suits RAID controllers with SFF-8643 host ports

Builders attaching up to four SAS or SATA drives to a controller or HBA that presents an SFF-8643 host interface will find this cable fits directly. It is not suitable when the SFF-8643 port sits on a backplane rather than the controller, nor for installations that require a different target connector or longer reach than one metre.

Straightforward internal routing

The fan-out design lets each 29-pin leg plug into a drive bay without adapters, and the attached SATA power tails draw from the same supply as the disks. Cable stiffness is typical for shielded copper at this gauge, so allow a gentle bend radius behind the backplane. The only common issue is reversing host and target ends; the SFF-8643 plug must face the controller.

Questions about this item

What connector must my RAID controller or motherboard have to plug the SFF-8643 end of this breakout cable?

The host side uses an SFF-8643 Mini SAS connector, so your controller or motherboard needs a matching SFF-8643 port.

Will the four SFF-8482 connectors work with older 6 Gbps SAS or SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the cable meets the SAS 3.0 specification at 12 Gbps and is backward-compatible with 6 Gbps SAS and SATA drives attached to the four 29-pin SFF-8482 targets.

How can I confirm each drive is receiving power through the attached 15-pin SATA power leads after installation?

Check that the 15-pin SATA power connectors on the SFF-8482 side are firmly seated and verify drive spin-up and detection in the RAID controller BIOS or OS disk utility.
