Mini SAS HD SFF8644 cable splitting into four right-angle SATA ports with inline IC, 1 metre length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 to 4×SATA 90° Cable with IC, 1M/39.37in

SKU CH-3714-GPXB9

Converts a single SFF8644 Mini SAS HD port into four 90-degree SATA 7-pin connectors with an integrated signal-conditioning IC for stable 6Gbps data transfer across SATA drives and RAID controllers

  • Integrated IC chip stabilizes long-distance transmission
  • Converts one SFF8644 port to four 90° SATA ports
  • Supports steady 6Gbps bandwidth for SATA drives and RAID controllers
  • 28AWG copper wire ensures durable low-loss signal performance
  • 1-meter length with right-angle design saves chassis space

Mini SAS HD SFF8644 breakout cable

This cable converts a single SFF8644 Mini SAS HD port into four 90‑degree SATA 7‑pin female connectors. It is intended for system builders expanding storage in servers, workstations or JBOD enclosures. The integrated signal‑conditioning IC helps maintain data integrity over the full run. Each SATA port supports standard hard drives and solid‑state drives at 6Gbps.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive copper conductors and the onboard IC add negligible heat inside the chassis. No active cooling or extra power connectors are required, so the cable does not increase system fan speed or acoustic output. The 28AWG pure copper wire keeps resistive losses low during continuous 6Gbps transfers. Power consumption remains limited to the drives attached at the SATA ends.

Build quality and connector implications

Right‑angle SATA plugs sit flush against drive backplanes, easing cable routing in tight rackmount bays. The 1‑metre length provides enough slack for tidy internal runs without excess loops. Latching SFF8644 and SATA connectors resist accidental disconnection during vibration or drive swaps. Shielded construction with the IC chip suppresses electromagnetic interference in dense multi‑drive arrays.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFF-8644 end and the four right-angle SATA connectors, and which step causes problems?

Insert the SFF-8644 plug into the RAID controller port until it clicks, then press each 90-degree SATA connector straight onto the drive backplane; the common mistake is angling the right-angle plugs, which bends the 28AWG pins.

What maintenance or replacement will this breakout cable need later?

The integrated signal-conditioning IC and 28AWG copper conductors require no scheduled maintenance; replace the cable only if the latch on the SFF-8644 end breaks or a SATA port feels loose after repeated drive swaps.

What limit appears first under sustained 6Gbps SAS traffic?

The 28AWG gauge and 1-metre length set the practical ceiling; beyond that distance the IC cannot fully compensate for signal loss, so throughput drops before the 6Gbps spec is reached.
