1 metre internal breakout cable with Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to four SFF-8482 connectors, dual power leads

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 1M 12Gbps Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to 4 SFF-8482 Breakout Cable

SKU CH-VPJX-24B0Q

A 1-metre internal breakout cable splits one Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 port into four SFF-8482 connectors for simultaneous 12 Gbps SAS 3.0 drive links

  • Connect four drives from one controller with SFF-8643 to four SFF-8482 breakout
  • Maintain 12Gbps SAS 3.0 throughput for multi-disk concurrent workloads
  • Power drives directly via integrated Molex and 15Pin SATA connectors
  • Shielded construction prevents EMI faults during 24/7 RAID operation
  • 1m length enables tidy routing without blocking 2.5 and 3.5-inch drive airflow

Connection layout

This breakout cable converts a single Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 port into four independent SFF-8482 connectors. It enables simultaneous attachment of up to four SAS or SATA hard drives to a RAID controller or HBA. The 1-metre length suits standard server chassis routing.

Power and shielding

Integrated 4-pin Molex and 15-pin SATA power plugs deliver drive power directly from the cable, reducing separate wiring inside the cabinet. Double-layer foil and braid shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference for continuous 12Gbps SAS 3.0 operation. Locking latches on each SFF-8482 port resist vibration in rack environments.

Target use and limits

Suited for administrators expanding 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive arrays in enterprise servers, NAS units or JBOD enclosures that use SFF-8643 host ports. Not intended for systems lacking Molex or SATA power headers, for external drive enclosures, or for installations requiring longer cable runs.

Highlights

  • Connect four drives from one controller with SFF-8643 to four SFF-8482 breakout
  • Maintain 12Gbps SAS 3.0 throughput for multi-disk concurrent workloads
  • Power drives directly via integrated Molex and 15Pin SATA connectors
  • Shielded construction prevents EMI faults during 24/7 RAID operation
  • 1m length enables tidy routing without blocking 2.5 and 3.5-inch drive airflow

Questions about this item

How many drives can the single SFF-8643 connector support at 12Gbps?

The SFF-8643 input splits into four independent SFF-8482 ports, letting you connect four SAS or SATA hard drives simultaneously at 12Gbps SAS 3.0 speed.

Will the shielding hold up during continuous 24/7 RAID operation inside a vibrating rack?

Double-layer foil and braided shielding suppresses electromagnetic crosstalk, and each SFF-8482 port has a locking buckle to prevent drop-off during non-stop use.

Do I need separate power cables for the drives, or does this cable provide power?

Integrated 4-pin IDE Molex and 15-pin SATA power connectors supply drive power directly, so no separate power cords are required.
