SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 IC Chip to 4×SATA 7Pin Fanout Cable 1m
A Mini SAS HD SFF8644 cable with integrated IC chip splits one port into four SATA 7-pin connections for 6 Gbps server drive expansion using 28 AWG pure copper conductors over a one-metre length
- IC chip stabilises SFF8644-to-SATA signal conversion
- 1-to-4 fanout expands server storage with four drives
- 6 Gbps throughput moves enterprise HDD/SSD data fast
- 28 AWG pure copper cuts signal loss for lasting links
- 1 m length fits chassis layouts for tidy routing
Mini SAS HD SFF8644 to 4×SATA fanout cable
This cable converts a single Mini SAS HD SFF8644 port into four independent SATA 7pin connections for server hard drives. An integrated IC chip stabilises the signal conversion across all lanes. The 1m length suits internal chassis routing in enterprise storage arrays. It is built with 28AWG pure copper conductors for reliable data paths.
Suited for RAID arrays
The fanout design serves administrators adding multiple SAS or SATA drives to one controller port. Shielded construction and the onboard IC reduce electromagnetic interference during sustained transfers. Builders needing a direct drive-to-drive link without a controller port, or those requiring external bulkhead connections, should look at a different cable type.
6Gbps transmission rate over SFF8644 with IC chip
The link operates at 6Gbps per lane through the SFF8644 interface, with the IC chip ensuring consistent signal integrity across the four SATA branches. This specification determines whether the cable matches your controller and drive performance requirements.

Questions about this item
Does the SFF8644 connector need a specific port orientation to fit my backplane?
The SFF8644 plug is keyed and inserts in one direction only; align the notch with the backplane socket before pressing it in firmly.
What is the step people miss when installing the fanout cable?
Many forget to seat each of the four SATA 7pin data connectors until the metal latch clicks; a loose data link will cause drive dropouts even if power is connected.
How often should I check the 28AWG copper conductors for wear?
Inspect the cable whenever the chassis is opened; replace it if the shielding is kinked, the latch tabs are broken, or any conductor shows discolouration.
