Short 0.5m Mini SAS SFF8643 to four SFF8482 29pin breakout cable

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 0.5M Internal Mini SAS SFF8643 to 4x SFF8482 29Pin Breakout Cable

SKU CH-SP5B-8R23Q

Connects a single SFF-8643 host port to four SFF-8482 29-pin SAS drives at 6 Gbps for compact RAID and NAS builds

  • Connects four SAS drives via single SFF8643 host port
  • Delivers 6Gbps bandwidth for RAID and NAS storage arrays
  • Locking SFF8482 connectors resist vibration in server chassis
  • Short .5m length improves airflow inside compact enclosures
  • Works with Windows and Linux servers without driver installation

Compact Internal SAS Breakout Cable

This 0.5 metre cable converts a single SFF8643 host port on a RAID controller or motherboard into four SFF8482 29pin target interfaces for SAS hard drives. It is built for server, NAS and workstation storage arrays where space is tight. The short run keeps wiring neat and airflow clear inside compact enclosures. No driver installation is required on mainstream Windows or Linux server operating systems.

Capacity and Headroom

The cable supports up to 6Gbps bandwidth per lane to meet continuous read and write demands across four drives in RAID configurations. Secure latching connectors on each SFF8482 end prevent accidental disconnection caused by chassis vibration. High quality insulated conductors suppress electromagnetic interference for consistent performance under sustained heavy load. The fixed 0.5 metre length removes excess slack that can obstruct airflow in dense chassis.

What This Replaces and When It Is Worth It

This replaces loose fanout cables or longer assemblies that add clutter and restrict airflow in small server and NAS builds. The jump is worthwhile when a controller exposes an SFF8643 host port and you need four direct SAS drive connections without a backplane. It is not for connecting to SFF8643 backplane ports or for driving pure SATA drives without a proper adapter. Verify your controller port type and drive interface before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.5 metre SFF8643 breakout reach my existing SAS backplane in a 2U chassis?

The 0.5 metre length is designed for short internal runs; measure the distance from your RAID controller SFF8643 port to each drive bay to confirm it reaches without strain.

How can I verify the 6Gbps link is active on all four SFF8482 ports after installation?

Check the RAID controller BIOS or OS utility such as smartctl; each drive should report a negotiated 6Gbps SAS link and show no CRC errors during sustained reads.

Does the package include four SFF8482 29pin connectors only, or are drive power cables also supplied?

Only the SFF8643 to four SFF8482 data breakout cable is included; separate SAS power cables or a backplane with integrated power must be sourced for each drive.
