SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 with IC to SFF-8087 12Gbps 28AWG 10Ohm 3M

SKU CH-C2JK-C7ZKY

Connects SAS HD SFF-8644 to SFF-8087 with built-in signal-conditioning IC for stable 12Gbps enterprise storage stacking

  • Integrated IC chip boosts signal stability for long server links
  • 12 Gbps bandwidth supports SAS drives and RAID controllers
  • 28 AWG copper with 10 ohm impedance cuts loss and crosstalk
  • Rugged black jacket built for rack-mount stacking in data centres
  • 3 metre reach fits extended server-to-storage wiring runs

Server stacking cable with IC

This professional-grade cable connects SFF-8644 and SFF-8087 interfaces for enterprise server stacking. The built-in signal-conditioning IC chip enhances stability across long-distance cascading connections in data centre environments. It is designed for SAS HDDs, SSDs, RAID controllers and storage arrays.

12Gbps bandwidth and 28AWG construction

The cable supports 12Gbps ultra-high-speed bandwidth for demanding storage workloads. Its 28AWG pure copper conductors with 10ohm impedance matching minimise signal loss and crosstalk over the 3 metre run. This construction provides reliable transmission for extended rackmount stacking scenarios.

SFF-8644 to SFF-8087 interface conversion

The SFF-8644 connector with integrated IC converts to the legacy SFF-8087 standard for compatibility across equipment generations. This interface bridge enables stacking modern controllers with existing enclosures. It does not serve builds requiring native SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 links or higher-density connector formats.

Highlights

  • Integrated IC chip boosts signal stability for long server links
  • 12 Gbps bandwidth supports SAS drives and RAID controllers
  • 28 AWG copper with 10 ohm impedance cuts loss and crosstalk
  • Rugged black jacket built for rack-mount stacking in data centres
  • 3 metre reach fits extended server-to-storage wiring runs

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8644 end with IC work with my existing SFF-8087 RAID controller and 12Gbps SAS drives?

Yes, the cable converts SFF-8644 with integrated IC to SFF-8087 and is rated for 12Gbps bandwidth, so it connects your controller to SAS HDDs or SSDs at full speed.

How can I verify the 12Gbps link is stable after I connect the 3M cable?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a negotiated 12Gbps link on each port and run a sustained read/write test; the built-in IC and 10ohm matched 28AWG copper are designed to keep errors at zero over the full length.

Does the package include only the SFF-8644 to SFF-8087 cable or are brackets or adapters also supplied?

Only the 3M black cable with SFF-8644 (IC) and SFF-8087 connectors is included; no brackets, drive trays or additional adapters are provided.
