ETopSell SFF-8643 to 4× SFF-8482 SAS cable with 15-pin power

SKU CH-XZ8D-ZTCFY

Connects a SAS controller (SFF-8643) to four SATA/SAS drives (SFF-8482) with integrated 15-pin power

Length 1 Meter

  • Connects one SFF-8643 controller to four SFF-8482 drives
  • 15-pin power port supplies drives directly from the cable
  • 0 AWG conductors for reliable internal signal routing
  • Fan-out design splits a single x4 link into four x1 links
  • Black and blue colour coding simplifies port identification

Controller-to-drive fan-out cable

This internal cable converts a single SFF-8643 mini SAS host port into four SFF-8482 connectors for SAS or SATA drives. It is designed for builders connecting a RAID controller or motherboard port to multiple disks. The cable will not function if the SFF-8643 port resides on a backplane rather than a controller.

Passive wiring with integrated power port

The 30.0 gauge conductors carry data without active circuitry, so thermals and noise are determined entirely by the attached drives and controller. A 15-pin SAS power port is included on the assembly to supply the drives directly from the cable. Power draw follows the specifications of the connected devices.

15-pin power port simplifies drive supply

The bundled power connector eliminates the need for separate drive power cables from the PSU when the controller or backplane can provide sufficient current. No software or drivers are included or required for operation. The cable is incompatible with SAS driver-based backplane connections.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the SFF-8643 end to my RAID controller and the four SFF-8482 ends to drives?

Plug the SFF-8643 connector into the controller port; it is the host side. Attach each SFF-8482 connector to a SAS or SATA drive. The 15-pin power port on the cable must also receive power.

What upkeep will the 30.0 gauge cable and its 29-pin connectors need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required. Inspect the 29-pin SFF-8482 and SFF-8643 connectors periodically for dust or bent pins; reseat if contact issues appear.

What is the first limitation I will hit when running four drives continuously through this fan-out cable?

The single SFF-8643 host link carries all four drives, so aggregate throughput is limited to that one x4 lane.
