Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 male-to-male cable with inline IC, flat 28 AWG cable, 2 m

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 to SFF8644 Cable with IC, 12Gbps, 28AWG, 2M

SKU CH-W902-BXHRG

A 12Gbps SAS SATA cable with builtin IC chip, 28AWG lowloss copper and flat SFF8644 connectors for 2meter server storage links

  • Built-in IC chip stabilises signals over long runs
  • Bidirectional SFF8644 connectors deliver 12 Gbps SAS/SATA bandwidth
  • 28 AWG low-loss copper cuts attenuation for reliable links
  • Flat interface design saves rack space and improves airflow
  • Two-metre length reaches external JBOD and RAID enclosures

Purpose-built aggregation cable

This Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 cable with an integrated signal-conditioning IC chip provides a bidirectional male-to-male link rated for 12 Gbps SAS and SATA traffic. It is designed for system administrators and data-center engineers who need reliable long-distance connectivity between host controllers and JBOD storage enclosures or RAID arrays.

Thermals noise and power

The passive copper assembly draws no external power and adds no active cooling requirement, so it introduces zero acoustic noise and no thermal load inside the rack. Its 28 AWG low-loss conductors and flat interface minimise signal attenuation over the full run while preserving airflow paths in dense server cabinets.

Flat interface and IC benefit

The flat-style connector profile reduces cable bulk, easing routing in tight rackmount environments and improving chassis airflow compared with round alternatives. The built-in IC chip actively conditions the signal, extending dependable reach for 2-metre external aggregation without requiring additional repeaters or active optical modules.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFF8644 connectors and what is the common mistake?

Align the keyed SFF8644 male plugs with the SAS controller and JBOD ports, then press straight in until the latch clicks. The step often missed is verifying the IC chip orientation on both ends before locking.

What maintenance or replacement will this 28AWG cable need over time?

Inspect the flat interface and latch tabs quarterly for dust buildup or bent pins. Replace the cable if the integrated IC shows discoloration or if 12Gbps link errors appear in controller logs.

What limit appears first during sustained 12Gbps transfers?

The 28AWG copper conductors and IC signal conditioning set the practical ceiling. Beyond the rated bandwidth, bit-error rates rise before thermal throttling becomes a factor.
