EN-Labs SFF86434SATA50CM SAS cable SFF-8643 to 4 SATA 50 cm 12 Gbps

SKU CH-T8A0-KTMDX

Connects a 12 Gbps SAS controller to four SATA drives over 50 cm with a 36-pin SFF-8643 plug and latched SATA sockets

  • ColorBlack & Blue
  • Length1.64ft / 50CM
  • Connector Number5
  • Speed12Gbps
  • SpecificationsSide 1: HD Mini SAS 36Pin (SFF-8643) Male Side 2:4x SATA 7Pi
  • Connects 12 Gbps RAID controller to four SATA drives via SFF-8643
  • 50 cm length suits compact chassis cable routing
  • 36-pin SFF-8643 male host connector plugs into embedded motherboard or RAID card
  • Four SATA 7-pin female target connectors with latches secure each drive link
  • Hybrid design supports 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps while migrating to 12 Gbps

Connectivity

This internal cable links a 12 Gbps host or RAID controller with an SFF-8643 port to four SATA drives. It targets builders adding direct-attached storage to a high-density controller card.

Interface limits

The SFF-8643 connector carries 12 Gbps SAS signalling, while each SATA 7-pin target runs at 6 Gbps. The hybrid design maintains 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps compatibility during a migration to a 12 Gbps storage area network.

Capacity and headroom

Four SATA devices attach to a single 36-pin controller port, giving a compact 50 cm reach inside a chassis. The assembly does not support backplane connections, so enclosures requiring that topology need a different cable.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a longer or shorter cable for my server build?

The cable is 1.64ft (50cm) long, suitable for typical internal chassis routing from a RAID controller to nearby drive bays.

What does the 12 Gbps rating mean for my SATA drives?

The 12 Gbps rating is the SAS host link speed; each SATA drive will operate at its native 6 Gbps limit through the forward breakout.

Does the SFF-8643 connector work with standard SAS backplanes?

The SFF-8643 male header is designed for direct host or RAID controller connection and does not support backplane use.
