SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 with IC to 4 SATA Breakout Cable 2m

SKU CH-9J2B-8SXGC

A 28 AWG Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 breakout cable with an integrated circuit chip splits one port into four SATA connections for 6 Gbps server storage expansion

  • Built-in signal IC chip boosts integrity for stable long-run transmission
  • Single SFF-8644 port splits into four SATA 7-pin ports for multi-drive expansion
  • Supports 6 Gbps transfer rate for enterprise-grade storage performance
  • 28 AWG pure copper wiring reduces interference and ensures durability
  • Compatible with major server RAID controllers and storage backplanes

Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 breakout cable

This 2 metre cable converts a single Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 port into four standard SATA 7-pin connectors. It is designed for server administrators and storage engineers who need to attach multiple SATA drives or SSDs to a RAID controller or backplane using one high-density port.

Capacity and headroom

The built-in signal IC chip maintains data integrity across the full 2 metre length, supporting the SATA III 6 Gbps transfer rate for each of the four attached drives. Four SATA devices share the bandwidth of the single upstream SAS link, so aggregate throughput is limited by that host connection.

SFF-8644 with integrated circuit

The SFF-8644 plug includes an active IC that boosts signal quality for reliable long-run transmission. Buyers whose controller or backplane expects a passive copper cable without signal conditioning should verify compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this SFF-8644 breakout cable connect my existing SATA III drives to a newer SAS controller?

Yes, the cable splits one Mini SAS HD port into four SATA 7-pin connectors, supporting 6 Gbps transfer rates for SATA III hard drives and SSDs.

How can I verify the built-in IC chip is maintaining signal integrity after installation?

Check that all four connected drives are detected at full 6 Gbps speed in your RAID controller BIOS or operating system without read errors.

Does the 2 m cable include the SFF-8644 connector and four SATA data plugs, or must I buy any adapters separately?

The cable arrives as a complete assembly with the SFF-8644 end and four SATA 7-pin ends; no extra adapters are required.
