SlimSAS to MiniSAS HD 80 cm cable

This 80 cm cable connects a SlimSAS 4X 38-pin SFF-8654 port to a MiniSAS HD 4X 36-pin SFF-8643 port. It carries four channels at 24 Gbps for SAS and 8 GT/s for PCIe per channel. The compact connector and cable design saves space inside the chassis. It meets SAS 3.0 and the relevant SFF specifications.

For direct SlimSAS-to-MiniSAS-HD links

Builders linking a SlimSAS 4X host or backplane to a MiniSAS HD 4X target can use this cable. It is not for connections that require a different pin count or a different connector shape. It is also not for setups needing a longer reach than 80 cm.

24 Gbps per channel over four lanes

Each of the four lanes runs at 24 Gbps for SAS and 8 GT/s for PCIe, meeting the SAS 3.0 standard. This throughput decides whether the cable matches your controller and device requirements.

Questions about this item

Does my backplane need an SFF-8654 38-pin port to use this cable?

Yes, one end uses the SFF-8654 38-pin SlimSAS connector, so the host or backplane must provide that port.

Will the SFF-8643 36-pin MiniSAS HD end work with my existing SAS 3.0 drives?

The SFF-8643 connector follows the SAS 3.0 specification, so it connects to compatible drives and backplanes that use that interface.

How can I confirm the link is running at 24 Gbps per channel after installation?

Check the HBA or RAID controller BIOS and OS utilities; they report the negotiated link speed for each of the four lanes.
