Product Features
Technical Overview
This data transfer cable utilizes SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) technology, supporting the high-throughput demands of modern storage arrays and server backplanes. The external design allows for easy connection between separate enclosures or components without internal chassis modifications.
Both ends feature identical Mini-SAS connectors, creating a symmetrical cable that simplifies installation and reduces connector compatibility confusion. The 1-meter length translates to approximately 3.3 feet, providing adequate reach for most adjacent rack or tower deployments while maintaining signal quality.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Country of Origin, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This HPE cable delivers reliable connectivity for storage expansion, server clustering, and data migration tasks where consistent signal transmission is essential. The standardized Mini-SAS interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of HPE and industry-standard storage hardware.
Enterprise Reliability
Manufactured to HPE's specifications for consistent performance in data center and server room environments where cable integrity directly impacts system uptime.
- HPE quality assurance
- Stable signal transmission
- Durable connector design
Simplified Deployment
The symmetrical Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS configuration eliminates connector orientation confusion during installation, reducing setup time and potential connection errors.
- Identical connectors on both ends
- Clear connection path
- Reduced installation complexity
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting external storage enclosures to HPE servers, expanding storage capacity without internal bay limitations. The external design makes it suitable for quick storage additions or temporary data migration setups where internal cabling isn't practical.
Common applications include connecting HPE D-series disk enclosures to ProLiant servers, linking modular storage arrays, or establishing direct-attached storage connections for backup and replication tasks. The 1-meter length works well for adjacent rack units or equipment within the same cabinet.
