Cable purpose and length

This two-metre cable connects an SFF-8644 Mini-SAS HD port to an SFF-8088 Mini-SAS port. It carries SAS signals between a host adapter and an external hard-disk-drive enclosure. The black jacket is 78.7 inches long and weighs approximately 0.55 lb. Two connectors are fitted, one at each end.

Who this suits and who it does not

The cable suits administrators linking Microsemi Adaptec 7, 7H or 7He series adapters to an external enclosure that uses SFF-8088. It is not for installations that need an internal SFF-8644-to-SFF-8644 link or a different cable length. Buyers whose enclosures require a different connector standard should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The defining detail is the connector pairing: four-lane SFF-8644 on one end and four-lane SFF-8088 on the other. If your controller and enclosure match those exact ports, this cable completes the link; if either end differs, the cable will not fit.

Questions about this item

Which controller or backplane must already have SFF-8644 ports for this cable to connect?

You need a controller or backplane equipped with SFF-8644 Mini-SAS HD ports; the cable's first end presents four of those connectors.

Will the SFF-8088 ends plug into an older enclosure that only accepts SFF-8088 Mini-SAS?

Yes, the second end provides four SFF-8088 Mini-SAS connectors that mate with legacy enclosures using that interface.

How can I verify the 2 m link is operating at full SAS speed after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for the expected SAS link rate and zero error counters on each of the four lanes.
