Connection Purpose

This 2-metre cable links an SFF-8644 host port to an SFF-8088 external device using the SAS interface. It serves administrators who need to connect internal RAID controllers to external drive enclosures or JBOD shelves in server racks.

Interface Limits

The assembly is rated for 6.0 Gbps per lane and complies with SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 specifications. The 26-pin hybrid construction and 100-ohm impedance define the maximum signalling distance and lane count supported by this specific connector pairing.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Verify that the controller presents an SFF-8644 receptacle and the target enclosure presents an SFF-8088 receptacle before ordering. Confirm the two-metre reach suits the rack layout and that both endpoints operate at the required SAS speed grade.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2 m length or a different length for my server rack?

The cable is supplied at 2 m (6.6 ft) including both connectors, a common reach for adjacent rack-mounted servers and JBODs.

What real-world throughput does the 6.0 Gbps per lane rating deliver?

Each of the eight lanes runs at 6.0 Gbps, providing the full SAS 2.1 bandwidth your RAID controller and drives negotiate.

How does the SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 interface limit the connection?

The hybrid cable bridges internal HD Mini-SAS (SFF-8644) to external Mini-SAS (SFF-8088), so the link speed is capped at the 6.0 Gbps SAS 2.1 specification of the connectors.
