SKU CH-8MDD-A7Q36

Connects Slim SAS 38-pin controllers to Mini SAS HD 36-pin backplanes at 24 Gbps per lane over 50 cm

  • Connects Slim SAS 38pin to HD Mini SAS 36pin controllers
  • 50cm length fits tight server chassis
  • Four channels carry 24Gbps SAS and 8GT/s PCIe per lane
  • Meets SAS 3.0 and SAS 4.0 specifications
  • Slim connector design saves space in storage arrays

Internal SAS 4.0 cable for servers

This 50cm cable connects a controller with a Slim SAS 4i 38pin SFF-8654 port to a backplane or enclosure using a HD Mini SAS 4i 36pin SFF-8643 connector. It supports four channels of data transmission at 24Gbps per channel for SAS and 8GT/s for PCIe. The assembly meets SAS 3.0, SFF-8654 and SFF-8643 specifications for server, storage and workstation use.

Slim connectors save chassis space

The smaller SFF-8654 and SFF-8643 connectors reduce the physical footprint inside dense chassis compared with older wide-port designs. A straight 4i-to-4i layout keeps cable routing simple between host controller and target backplane. The 50cm length suits typical internal runs without excess slack that can block airflow or snag on drive caddies.

Check controller and backplane ports

Verify that your host controller presents a Slim SAS 4i 38pin SFF-8654 interface and that the target backplane or enclosure uses a HD Mini SAS 4i 36pin SFF-8643 port. This cable carries four lanes; systems requiring eight lanes need a second cable or a different assembly. Ensure the 50cm reach matches the distance between the two connectors in your chassis.
