Flat Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 cable with IC chip, 3 metre length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable 12Gbps 28AWG 3M

SKU CH-4QHA-956SX

A 3 metre SAS cable with dual SFF-8644 connectors and a built-in signal-conditioning IC for stable 12Gbps data transfer

  • Built-in IC chip boosts signal stability for long runs
  • 12 Gbps bandwidth handles enterprise RAID and storage arrays
  • 28 AWG pure copper conductors reduce loss and increase durability
  • Flat low-loss interface improves airflow and rack cable management
  • 3 meter length reaches across data-centre rows and cabinets

What this cable connects

This SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD cable links two SFF-8644 ports for SAS connections inside servers, storage arrays or RAID enclosures. It suits administrators building high-speed links between controllers and backplanes in enterprise racks or high-performance workstations.

Verify before ordering

Confirm both endpoints use the SFF-8644 connector and that your controller and backplane support the 12 Gbps signalling rate. Ensure the three-metre reach fits your rack layout and that the flat 28 AWG profile can route through your cable-management channels without exceeding bend limits.

Behaviour under sustained load

The integrated signal-conditioning IC maintains stable 12 Gbps throughput during continuous heavy I/O, reducing errors that can appear on long runs without active equalisation. Flat low-loss copper conductors and the low-profile interface keep airflow consistent, preventing thermal buildup during extended duty cycles.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with this SMUGDESK SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable and do I need any extra parts?

The box contains the 3M Mini SAS HD cable with dual SFF-8644 connectors and built-in signal conditioning IC. No additional components are required for a direct SAS link between compatible ports.

Which version of this cable should I choose for a 12Gbps SAS connection?

This single 28AWG model is rated for 12Gbps bandwidth and includes the IC chip for signal integrity, making it the correct choice for 12Gbps SAS aggregation or storage links.

What does the 12Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in a live server rack?

It indicates the cable supports 12Gbps SAS throughput end-to-end, with the integrated IC maintaining signal quality across the 3M length and flat low-loss interface reducing interference in dense rack environments.
