SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD Cable SFF8644 to SFF8643 IC 12Gbps 28AWG 3m

SKU CH-808F-GQHH6

Connects SFF8644 to SFF8643 ports with built-in IC for stable 12Gbps SAS 3.0 links

  • Built-in IC chip stabilises high-speed SAS signals
  • 12 Gbps SAS 3.0 throughput for enterprise storage
  • SFF-8644 to SFF-8643 connects RAID cards to backplanes
  • 28 AWG pure copper reduces resistance and interference
  • 3 m length suits server cabinet and NAS wiring

Server Storage Interconnect

This Mini SAS HD cable links SFF8644 and SFF8643 ports with an integrated signal conditioning IC. The 3m length suits server cabinet wiring and internal backplane connections. It targets data center technicians and NAS builders who need reliable SAS links between RAID controllers and drive enclosures.

Sustained Signal Stability

The onboard IC actively conditions the signal to maintain 12Gbps throughput over the full 3m run under continuous load. 28AWG pure copper conductors keep resistance low and reduce interference during long transfers. This design prevents the degradation that passive cables can show during extended enterprise workloads.

SAS 3.0 12Gbps Compliance

The cable meets the SAS 3.0 specification for 12Gbps operation, which is the single factor that decides if it matches your controller and backplane speed requirement. If your hardware negotiates at a lower rate the link will still work, but the 12Gbps ceiling is the compatibility gate.

Questions about this item

Does the built‑in IC chip on this 3 m Mini SAS HD cable keep signal noise low when the link runs at 12 Gbps all day?

The integrated signal‑conditioning IC is designed to maintain stable high‑speed transmission, reducing signal loss and interference during continuous 12 Gbps operation.

Which ports must my RAID controller or backplane provide for the SFF8644‑to‑SFF8643 connectors on this cable?

You need one SFF8644 HD MiniSAS port and one SFF8643 HD MiniSAS port on the controller, backplane or enclosure you are connecting.

Will this 28 AWG copper cable work with older 6 Gbps SAS 2.0 controllers that also use SFF8644 and SFF8643 ports?

Yes, the SAS 3.0 cable is backward compatible with SAS 2.0 6 Gbps links when both ends use the matching SFF8644 and SFF8643 interfaces.
