HPE 784629-001 Mini-SAS Cable Kit (Six Cables)

Mini-SAS Cable Kit with Six Cables

This HPE Mini-SAS cable kit includes six cables designed for server storage connectivity. It links 8-bay and 2-bay Small Form Factor hard drive cages to a host bus adapter or controller board. The kit suits administrators building or servicing compatible HPE ProLiant server configurations. Each cable uses the Mini-SAS interface for data transfer between storage enclosures and the controller.

Six-Cable Capacity for Multi-Bay Enclosures

The six included cables provide enough links for an 8-bay cage paired with a 2-bay cage in a single server chassis. This covers typical dual-cage deployments without needing additional cable packs. Installations requiring more than two SFF drive cages or connections beyond the supported H240 or P440ar controllers will exceed the kit's intended scope. The fixed quantity also limits flexibility for sparse or single-cage setups.

Mini-SAS Interface Constraints

The Mini-SAS connectors on both ends restrict use to equipment with matching ports, specifically the H240 host bus adapter and P440ar controller listed in the compatibility data. SAS signalling governs the maximum throughput and cable length, so longer runs or higher-speed protocols are not supported. Servers or controllers outside the named HPE DL380 Gen9, H240, and P440ar ecosystem cannot use these cables without verified cross-compatibility.
