Two short braided Mini SAS HD cables splitting into four SATA connectors each

LORDWORLD Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to 4 SATA Cable 0.5m 2-Pack

SKU CH-CDMS-V182C

A 0.5 m Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 cable fans out to four SATA drives with up to 6 Gb/s per drive

  • Connects SAS HBA to four SATA drives via SFF-8643 breakout
  • Locking latch on 8643 connector secures link to controller
  • 6 Gb/s per drive transfer rate for SATA targets
  • Thin braided 0.5 m cable eases routing in tight cases
  • Labelled fan-out simplifies cable management during install

SAS breakout cable for RAID controllers

This two-pack provides a direct link between a Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 host port and four SATA drives or a SATA backplane. Each cable measures .5 metres and carries a locking latch on the controller end for a secure fit. The forward breakout design is intended for expanding internal storage on servers or workstations that use 12 Gbps SAS HBAs or RAID cards.

Passive construction with braided sleeving

The cables use thin SAS wires wrapped in a tape and braid weave that resists snagging during routing. No active electronics are present, so power draw and noise are zero and the assembly adds no thermal load to the chassis. Labeled breakout ends simplify identification when connecting multiple drives.

Replaces loose fan-out or mismatched adapter cables

Builders upgrading from improvised SATA-to-SAS adapters or untidy individual cables gain a single labelled run per controller port. The jump is worth it when a 12 Gbps HBA or RAID controller needs a clean, reliable path to four SATA targets at up to 6 Gbps per drive. It will not work if the Mini SAS HD connector is plugged into a backplane instead of the controller.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFF-8643 connector onto a 12Gbps SAS HBA without damaging the locking latch?

Align the Mini SAS HD male plug with the controller port, press straight in until the latch clicks, and route the thin braided 0.5m cables to each SATA drive; do not plug the SFF-8643 end into a backplane or the breakout will not function.

What upkeep do the braided SFF-8643 to 4 SATA cables require over time?

Inspect the tape or braid weave and latch mechanism during any chassis work; reseat connectors if vibration loosens them, but no scheduled replacement is needed unless physical damage appears.

At what point does the 6Gbps per-drive ceiling become the bottleneck during sustained transfers?

When four SATA drives simultaneously push sequential reads or writes, the 6Gbps per lane limit caps aggregate throughput before the 12Gbps controller link saturates.
