CableCreation Internal Mini SAS SFF-8643 to 4x SFF-8482 SATA cable 3.3FT

SKU CH-VRV1-DJ66J

Connects a Mini SAS SFF-8643 controller to four SFF-8482 drives with included IDE power over 3.3FT

  • Connects SAS controller to four SATA/SAS drives
  • 3 ft length suits internal chassis routing
  • SFF-8643 host to four SFF-8482 targets
  • Includes IDE power connectors for drive power
  • Controller-based fan-out design for direct attachment

Cable purpose and fit

This internal cable links a Mini SAS SFF-8643 host port to four 29-pin SFF-8482 drive connectors with integrated IDE power. It is built for servers or workstations that use a SAS controller or RAID card to attach SATA or SAS hard disks. The 3.3FT length suits standard chassis routing. Buyers who need to connect drives to a backplane SFF-8643 port cannot use this cable.

Install notes and common issues

The SFF-8643 end plugs into the controller while each SFF-8482 leg attaches to a drive; the IDE power leads draw supply from the same cable assembly. Installers must verify the controller side is SFF-8643 and not a backplane variant, otherwise the pin-out will not match. Incorrect orientation or forcing the latch can bend the 29-pin connectors. No driver is required, but the controller BIOS must recognise the attached disks.

Pre-order checklist

Confirm the host device presents a Mini SAS SFF-8643 controller port rather than a backplane port. Ensure the power supply has enough free IDE power headers for the cable’s power leads. Check that each target drive uses a SFF-8482 interface compatible with SATA or SAS signalling. Measure the internal routing path to confirm the 3.3FT reach is adequate.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the SFF-8643 to 4x SFF-8482 cable is working after connecting it to my RAID controller?

The RAID controller BIOS or operating system should detect each attached SATA or SAS drive on all four SFF-8482 connectors, confirming the x4 link is active.

What comes with the cable and what must I source separately?

The package includes the 3.3FT fan-out cable with one SFF-8643 host end and four 29pin SFF-8482 target ends plus IDE power leads; drives and a compatible controller are not included.

Which version of this fan-out cable should I choose for a controller with an SFF-8643 port?

Select this SFF-8643 to 4x SFF-8482 model when your RAID card or motherboard provides an internal Mini SAS SFF-8643 host connector for up to four SATA or SAS disks.
