M.2 SFF8643 to four SAS SFF8482 breakout cable, .5m length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK M.2 SFF8643 to 4×SAS SFF8482 Cable .5m 12Gbps 30AWG

SKU CH-5ARA-4TTDR

Connects a single M.2 SFF8643 port to four SAS SFF8482 drives at 12Gbps using 30AWG copper wire

  • Single M.2 SFF8643 port fans out to four SAS SFF8482 drives for multi‑drive expansion
  • 12Gbps bandwidth keeps SAS and SATA storage arrays running at full speed
  • 30AWG low‑loss copper wire minimises signal attenuation over the link
  • Driver‑free plug‑and‑play setup gets servers and workstations online fast
  • .5m compact length enables tidy internal routing in dense chassis

Breakout Cable for M.2 SFF8643

This cable adapts a single M.2 SFF8643 port into four independent SAS SFF8482 connectors, letting a server or workstation attach multiple SAS or SATA drives without extra controllers. It is built for storage engineers and system integrators who need dense, high-speed drive expansion in tight chassis.

Fits Compact Servers and NAS Builds

The .5 metre length and 30AWG low-loss copper keep routing tidy inside dense backplanes while maintaining stable 12Gbps bandwidth for each attached drive. No drivers are required, so the assembly drops straight into existing SAS/SATA infrastructure and frees up PCIe slots that a separate HBA would occupy.

Replaces Bulky HBA Cards and Longer Breakouts

Use this when you want to move from a full-height host bus adapter to a direct M.2 breakout, or when existing cables are too long for clean airflow. The jump is worth it for builds that value space savings and cable management over the extra ports a larger controller would add.

Questions about this item

What limits throughput when the cable runs at 12Gbps continuously?

The 30AWG copper wire is rated for steady 12Gbps transfer; sustained speed depends on the connected drives and controller capability.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat or noise during all-day operation?

Passive copper construction produces no noise and negligible heat under normal 12Gbps workloads.

Which controller interface must the system already provide for this cable to function?

An available M.2 SFF8643 host port is required to plug in the single-ended connector.
