CableCreation Mini SAS SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 Cable 1M 3.3FT

SKU CH-DKK6-58QND

Connects 36-pin SFF-8087 to high-density SFF-8643 for 6 Gb/s and 12 Gb/s SAS links

  • Connects HD Mini SAS 8643 to legacy 8087 controllers
  • Supports SAS 2.1 6Gb/s and SAS 3.0 12Gb/s speeds
  • High-density 8643 connector saves PCB space and increases port density
  • Hybrid design enables smooth 6Gb to 12Gb migration path
  • 1M AWG 30 cable length fits standard internal chassis layouts

Internal HD Mini SAS Cable

This 1 metre internal cable connects an SFF-8643 host port to a 36 pin SFF-8087 device port. It supports SAS 2.1 at 6Gb/s and SAS 3.0 at 12Gb/s signalling. The high density SFF-8643 connector uses less PCB space than older designs. Cable gauge is AWG 30 for reliable signal integrity.

Suits server and storage builders

Builders linking a modern RAID controller or backplane with SFF-8643 ports to legacy drive enclosures or HBAs using SFF-8087 will find this cable a direct fit. It is not for external connections or for joining two identical port types. Buyers needing longer runs or different connector combinations should look elsewhere.

Ready to install

No drivers, software or additional adapters are bundled with this cable. The hybrid design allows a smooth transition between 6Gb and 12Gb equipment without extra parts. Simply connect the SFF-8643 end to the host and the SFF-8087 end to the target device. The 3.3 foot length suits typical chassis cable routing.

Questions about this item

What controller or backplane must I already have with an SFF-8643 port to plug this cable in?

You need a host bus adapter, RAID card or backplane that provides an SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD connector running SAS 2.1 at 6 Gb/s or SAS 3.0 at 12 Gb/s.

Will this cable work with my existing SFF-8087 36-pin Mini SAS drives or enclosures?

Yes, the SFF-8087 end connects directly to legacy 36-pin Mini SAS targets while the SFF-8643 end links to newer 12 Gb/s controllers for a smooth transition.

How can I verify the link is running at 12 Gb/s after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a negotiated speed of 12 Gb/s on the SFF-8643 port; the cable supports both SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 specifications.
