Enfain Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cable

SKU CH-1FSB-H5YXT

Connects external 12 Gb/s SAS storage using SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 ports

Length 1m

  • Supports 12 Gb/s bandwidth for high-speed data transfer
  • Meets SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 signal specifications for broad compatibility
  • 11 mm port spacing doubles linear density versus 19.01 mm legacy design
  • SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 connectors link internal controllers to external enclosures
  • Compliant with SAF-8644 external and SAF-8643 internal industry standards

Connection purpose

This Enfain Mini SAS HD cable links an SFF-8644 internal port to an SFF-8088 external port. It suits server builders and storage administrators who need to connect external JBOD enclosures or tape libraries to internal RAID controllers. It is not for buyers who need an internal-to-internal link or a different external connector type.

Sustained throughput

The cable meets signal bandwidth requirements from 6 Gb/s up to 12 Gb/s and complies with SAS 2.1 and proposed SAS 3.0 specifications. Shielded construction maintains signal integrity across the full length during continuous heavy I/O workloads. It is not for environments that demand speeds beyond 12 Gb/s.

Thermals noise power

As a passive copper assembly the cable adds no active heat, noise or power draw to the chassis. The high-density design achieves 11 mm port-to-port spacing versus 19.01 mm on previous interconnects, improving airflow around adjacent connectors. It is not for deployments that require active optical cables for longer runs.

Highlights

  • Supports 12 Gb/s bandwidth for high-speed data transfer
  • Meets SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 signal specifications for broad compatibility
  • 11 mm port spacing doubles linear density versus 19.01 mm legacy design
  • SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 connectors link internal controllers to external enclosures
  • Compliant with SAF-8644 external and SAF-8643 internal industry standards

Questions about this item

Does the SFF-8644 connector run hot or draw extra power during all-day 12 Gb/s SAS transfers?

The cable is passive and carries signal only; it adds no active circuitry, so heat and power draw stay negligible even at 12 Gb/s.

Which controller or backplane must I already have to plug the SFF-8644 end into my server?

You need a host bus adapter or RAID card with an external SFF-8644 (Mini-SAS HD) port that supports SAS 2.1 or SAS 3.0 signalling.

Will the SFF-8088 end connect to my older SAS 6 Gb/s JBOD enclosure without signal issues?

Yes — the cable meets SAS 2.1 and proposed SAS 3.0 specs, so it works with legacy 6 Gb/s gear while also supporting 12 Gb/s devices.
