A 39.37-inch Mini SAS HD SFF8643 to four SFF8482 fanout cable with integrated power lines, 30AWG copper construction and 12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth for enterprise storage arrays
- Converts one SFF8643 host port to four SFF8482 drive ports for storage expansion
- Supports stable 12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth for enterprise HDDs and SSDs
- Integrated power cable delivers steady power to drives simplifying server wiring
- Premium 30AWG pure copper wire reduces signal loss crosstalk and impedance interference
- 37inch length allows flexible routing in large form factor rackmount servers
Server Storage Expansion
This SMUGDESK fanout cable converts one Mini SAS HD SFF8643 host port into four SFF8482 drive ports for internal server and storage systems. It is built for administrators adding multiple SAS or SATA drives to RAID controllers or backplanes in enterprise environments. The integrated power lines deliver electricity to the drives alongside the data path, reducing the number of separate cables required inside the chassis. The 39.37inch length suits full-height rackmount layouts.
Compatibility Scope
The cable serves builders who need to break out a single high-density host connector into four standard drive connections with 12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth. It is not for installations that require a different host connector type, a different drive connector type, or a cable without integrated power lines. Buyers needing longer or shorter reach for their specific chassis should verify the 39.37inch dimension against their routing path. The 30AWG copper construction targets signal integrity at the rated speed.
Deciding Specification
The single specification that determines fit is the SFF8643 to 4X SFF8482 connector pairing with integrated power. Only systems equipped with an SFF8643 Mini SAS HD port and drives accepting SFF8482 SAS/SATA plugs can use this assembly. The 12Gbps rating and 30AWG wire gauge support the stated bandwidth, but the physical connector match is the gatekeeper. Confirm both ends match your controller and drive backplane before purchase.

Questions about this item
What host-port connector must my controller expose for the SFF8643 end to plug in?
The cable requires a Mini SAS HD SFF8643 port on your RAID controller or HBA.
Will the four SFF8482 connectors accept the SATA drives I already have installed?
Each SFF8482 receptacle carries both SAS and SATA signalling, so existing SATA drives plug straight in.
How do I confirm the link is running at 12Gbps after I connect the drives?
Check the controller BIOS or management utility; it reports the negotiated SAS 3.0 speed per port.
