Dedicated R730XD 24-bay cable
This Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 cable carries part number 8T05V and CN-08T05V for the Dell PowerEdge R730XD 24-bay server. It links the PERC H730P RAID controller to the 2.5-inch drive backplane. The assembly is built for server maintenance, storage expansion and replacement of a failed original harness. Buyers needing a cable for any other chassis or a different bay count cannot use this part.
OEM wiring with latching connectors
Dual independent channels are labelled A1 and B1 to match the factory wiring layout. Locking SFF-8643 connectors resist accidental disconnection caused by chassis vibration. A braided shield suppresses electromagnetic interference inside the server. The cable is not interchangeable with NVMe expander cables such as PN 1PDFM.
12Gbps bandwidth for continuous operation
The link supports SAS 12Gbps transmission for stable data flow across multi-disk RAID arrays. Shielded construction maintains signal integrity under 24/7 server workloads. The design targets reliable long-running operation in the R730XD 24-bay environment.
