SFF8643-to-SFF8482 fanout cable
This 19.68inch cable converts a single Mini SAS HD SFF8643 host port into four SFF8482 drive connectors for multi-disk expansion. It targets server builders who need to attach several SAS or SATA drives to one controller lane. The integrated power lines feed the drives directly, reducing the number of separate cables inside the chassis.
Installation notes
The fanout design plugs straight into the controller and backplane without tools, but the four drive legs must reach their bays within the 19.68inch length. Tight 2U or 4U routing can strain the 30AWG wires if bends are too sharp. Verify port orientation before seating the connectors to avoid pin damage on the high-density SFF8643 end.
Capacity and headroom
The cable carries 12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth across all four lanes, so enterprise HDDs and SSDs run at full interface speed. It handles typical RAID arrays and multi-drive storage pools without bottlenecking the controller link. Very long cable runs or dense backplanes with many adjacent cables may introduce signal loss beyond what the 30AWG construction can compensate for.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the cable is delivering 12Gbps after installation?
Check the RAID controller BIOS or OS storage utility for a negotiated link speed of 12Gbps on each of the four SFF8482 ports and confirm drives report full throughput during benchmark tests.
What comes with the cable and what must I source separately?
The package includes the 19.68in fanout cable with integrated power lines; you must supply the RAID controller with an SFF8643 port, SFF8482-compatible SAS or SATA drives, and backplane or drive power connectors.
Which version should I choose for a 12Gbps SAS 3.0 backplane with four drives?
This single 19.68in 30AWG fanout cable with SFF8643 to four SFF8482 connectors and built-in power lines is the correct version for that configuration.
