Mini SAS HD fanout cable with SFF8643 plug splitting to four SFF8482 29pin SAS connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 1to4 Mini SAS HD Fanout Cable SFF8643 to 4×SAS 29Pin SFF8482 12Gbps

SKU CH-HKPS-PX2SQ

A 12 Gbps fanout cable splits one SFF-8643 port into four SFF-8482 connectors for SAS drive expansion

  • Splits one SFF8643 port into four 29pin SFF8482 drive connections
  • Delivers 12Gbps throughput for enterprise SAS storage performance
  • Connects standard SAS hard drives via SFF8482 interface for easy expansion
  • Servergrade shielding reduces signal loss, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
  • Durable construction supports RAID arrays, data centers and highdensity server storage

One-to-four SAS fanout

This cable splits a single SFF8643 Mini SAS HD port into four SFF8482 connectors, letting one host link attach up to four SAS hard drives or solid-state drives. It is built for server administrators and storage integrators who need dense drive connectivity inside enterprise chassis or RAID enclosures.

Upgrade from single-drive cables

Replaces individual SFF8643-to-SFF8482 leads when a controller port must serve multiple spindles, reducing cable count and improving airflow in high-density bays. The jump is worth it whenever a RAID array or JBOD expansion demands four drives per host lane without adding extra HBAs.

Build integration

Connects directly to standard SAS 29-pin backplanes or drive trays, requiring only a compatible SFF8643 host interface and sufficient lane allocation on the RAID controller. The shielded construction preserves 12Gbps signal integrity across the fanout, freeing PCIe slots that would otherwise host additional host-bus adapters.

Questions about this item

What host connector does the SFF8643 end of this cable plug into?

The SFF8643 connector mates with a single Mini SAS HD port on a RAID controller or server backplane.

How do you correctly seat the four SFF8482 connectors onto SAS drives?

Align each 29pin SFF8482 plug with the drive's SAS port and press straight in until the latch clicks; forcing it at an angle bends the pins.

When should this fanout cable be replaced in a RAID array?

Replace it if you see intermittent drive dropouts, CRC errors, or physical damage to the shielding or connector latches.
