Two SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 SAS cables, 2 m each

Vszerda

Vszerda SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 SAS cable 6 Gbps 2 m 2-pack

SKU CH-BKZW-CJ804

A 2 m SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 SAS cable pair supporting 6 Gbps per channel with 100 Ohm impedance and 30 AWG twinaxial construction

  • Connects SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 devices
  • Supports 6.0 Gbps per channel data rates
  • Two-metre twinaxial cable with 100 Ohm impedance
  • SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specification compliant
  • Two-cable pack for redundant server links

What this cable connects

This two-pack links Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644 ports to SFF-8088 ports at up to 6 Gbps per channel over a 2 m run. It is built for servers, storage racks, RAID arrays and direct-attached storage that use SAS or SATA host bus adapters.

Installing the cable

Each twinaxial 8-pair assembly is plug-and-play and hot-pluggable with a 100 Ohm impedance and AWG30 conductors. The only common snag is mixing up the SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 ends, so verify the port keying on both devices before seating the connectors.

Who should buy it

It suits administrators adding external SAS shelves or DAS units to existing HBA or RAID controllers. Buyers who need 12 Gbps throughput, internal backplane cabling, or a different connector family should look at other options.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is operating at 6 Gbps after connecting it?

The cable is certified to the Serial Attached SCSI 6.0 Gbps standard before shipment, and it is fully compatible with SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 interface specifications for reliable performance.

What comes in the package and do I need any extra parts to use it?

The 2-pack includes two 2-metre SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cables; no additional components are required as the connectors are hot-pluggable and ready for direct attachment to compatible devices.

Should I choose this version for a SAS 2.1 or SAS 3.0 system?

This cable supports both SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 specifications, so it works with either generation without needing a different version.
