Product Features
Technical Overview
This Mini-SAS HD/SATA cable supports 6 Gbit/s data transfer rates, matching the maximum throughput of SATA 3.0 devices. The SFF-8643 connector follows the Mini-SAS HD specification with 36 pins, while the opposite end terminates in four standard 7-pin SATA connectors, each capable of supporting individual SATA drives.
The cable's construction includes electromagnetic shielding to reduce interference in dense storage environments. With male connectors on both ends, this cable directly interfaces with SFF-8643 ports on host bus adapters or backplanes and standard SATA ports on storage devices.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, 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 cable delivers reliable connectivity between SAS infrastructure and SATA storage devices, enabling cost-effective expansion of storage capacity without requiring dedicated SAS drives. The design balances performance with practical installation considerations for enterprise and workstation environments.
High-Density Connectivity
Consolidates four SATA connections into a single SFF-8643 port, reducing cable clutter in storage arrays and server chassis while maintaining full bandwidth to each connected drive.
- Single cable replaces multiple individual SATA cables
- Maintains 6 Gbit/s throughput to each drive
- Reduces internal cable management complexity
Secure Connection Design
The locking latch mechanism prevents accidental disconnection that could interrupt storage operations or cause data transfer errors during system vibration or maintenance activities.
- Positive locking prevents cable slippage
- Maintains connection integrity in vibration-prone environments
- Easy release mechanism for authorized disconnection
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is designed for internal storage expansion in servers, workstations, and storage enclosures where SAS controllers need to connect to SATA drives. It enables organizations to leverage cost-effective SATA storage while maintaining compatibility with SAS infrastructure.
Common deployment scenarios include adding SATA SSDs or hard drives to servers with SFF-8643 ports, expanding storage capacity in NAS devices with Mini-SAS HD backplanes, and connecting SATA drives to RAID controllers in workstation builds. The 3.2-foot length provides sufficient reach for most standard chassis layouts while minimizing excess cable that could impede airflow.
Server Storage Expansion
Connect additional SATA drives to server RAID controllers or host bus adapters with SFF-8643 ports, enabling storage capacity growth without replacing existing SAS infrastructure.
Workstation Storage Configuration
Build high-capacity workstations by connecting multiple SATA drives to compatible Mini-SAS HD controller cards, supporting creative, engineering, and data analysis workloads.
Physical Profile
The cable features a multicolor design with black, white, and silver elements that provide visual distinction in complex cable environments. With a weight of approximately 1.40 ounces, the cable adds minimal mass to system builds while the 3.2-foot length offers practical routing options within standard server and workstation chassis.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.40 oz (39.69 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
