Black SAS cable with SFF8644 IC connector to SFF8087 plug, 2m length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 with IC to SFF8087 Cable 12Gbps 28AWG 10 Ohm Black 2M

SKU CH-G55Y-1HNHW

A 2 metre SAS cable links SFF8644 and SFF8087 ports with an integrated IC for stable 12Gbps signal transmission over 28AWG 10Ohm copper

  • Built-in IC chip stabilises long-distance server stacking signals
  • Cross-interface SFF8644 to SFF8087 conversion enables flexible storage expansion
  • 28AWG low-loss copper with 10Ohm impedance delivers steady 12Gbps bandwidth
  • Two-metre length supports extended rackmount and JBOD routing
  • Black shielded jacket reduces electromagnetic interference for RAID and drive arrays

Server stacking cable with SFF-8644 IC to SFF-8087

This SMUGDESK cable connects a Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 port with an integrated circuit to a legacy SFF-8087 connector. It is built for server cascading and multi-level storage expansion in enterprise racks. The 2 metre length suits long-range routing between JBOD enclosures and RAID controllers. Buyers deploying high-density storage arrays will use this for reliable 12Gbps links.

Check connector types

Verify that your source device presents an SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD interface and your target device accepts an SFF-8087 Mini SAS plug. Confirm both ends support 12Gbps SAS signalling to match the cable's rated bandwidth. Ensure the 28AWG conductors and 10 Ohm impedance match your system's signal integrity requirements. This cable carries data only and does not supply power to attached drives.

Replaces direct SFF-8644-to-SFF-8644

Use this when bridging newer 12Gbps controllers with SFF-8644 ports to older backplanes or HBAs limited to SFF-8087. The integrated IC stabilises signals over the full 2 metre run where passive cables may fail. The jump is worth it when expanding capacity across mixed-generation SAS hardware without replacing controllers. It is not for environments requiring native SFF-8644 endpoints on both sides.

Questions about this item

Does the cable come with any adapters or mounting hardware, or is it just the cable itself?

The package contains only the Mini SAS HD SFF8644 with IC to SFF8087 cable; no additional adapters or mounting hardware are included.

Should I choose this SFF8644 to SFF8087 cable or a different connector combination for my controller?

Select this cable when you need to connect an SFF8644 port with integrated IC to an SFF8087 port; other connector combinations will not fit those specific interfaces.

Will the 12Gbps rating be maintained inside a rackmount server with the 2meter length?

Yes, the 28AWG copper wire with 10Ohm impedance matching and builtin IC is designed to deliver stable 12Gbps transfer over the full 2meter run in rackmount and JBOD environments.
