SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 to 4×SATA Fanout Cable .5m 28AWG

SKU CH-61KJ-BC422

Connects one SFF8644 port to four SATA drives with an integrated IC chip for stable 6Gbps data transfer over .5m of shielded 28AWG pure copper

  • Integrated IC chip stabilises SFF8644-to-SATA signal conversion
  • 1-to-4 breakout expands server storage with four SATA drives
  • 6Gbps transfer rate supports HDD, SSD and RAID workloads
  • 28AWG pure copper conductors reduce signal loss and crosstalk
  • .5m length keeps internal cabling tidy in dense chassis

Mini SAS HD SFF8644 fanout cable

This .5 metre cable converts one SFF8644 port into four SATA 7‑pin connections using an integrated IC chip. It is designed for server administrators who need to expand internal storage arrays with multiple hard drives or SSDs. The 28AWG pure copper conductors support 6Gbps data rates for RAID and bulk storage workloads. The short length keeps cable routing tidy inside high‑density chassis.

Check your controller and drive connectors

Verify that your RAID controller or HBA presents an SFF8644 Mini SAS HD port before ordering. Ensure the target drives use standard SATA 7‑pin data connectors and that the backplane or drive cage can accommodate four separate cables. Confirm the system supports 6Gbps SAS/SATA signalling so the link operates at full speed. The cable carries data only; power must be supplied separately to each drive.

Fits tight server builds and frees drive bays

The compact .5 metre run suits 1U and 2U enclosures where long cables would block airflow or interfere with other components. Four SATA branches let you populate multiple drive bays from a single controller port, reducing the number of host ports required. Shielded 28AWG wiring minimises crosstalk in crowded drive cages. No external power adapter is needed for the signal conversion.

Questions about this item

Does the cable come with SATA power cables or do I need to buy them separately?

Only the SFF8644 to four SATA data connectors are included; power cables for the drives must be sourced separately.

When would I choose the .5m length over a longer cable?

The .5m length suits tight server chassis where excess cable would block airflow or interfere with other components.

Will the 6Gbps rating be the actual speed I see on my drives?

The cable supports 6Gbps SAS signalling; real throughput depends on the drive, controller and RAID level used.
