SMUGDESK Mini SAS SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 Cable 50cm

SKU CH-4SRH-163SG

External SAS cable links SFF-8088 to high-density SFF-8644 for server storage expansion in 50cm length

  • Connects SFF-8088 to high-density SFF-8644 for server storage expansion
  • 50cm compact length enables tidy external routing in rackmount environments
  • High-quality low-loss conductors deliver stable high-speed SAS data transmission
  • Rugged external-grade shielding minimises interference for reliable long-term operation
  • Optimised for RAID controllers, storage arrays and external disk enclosures

Connectivity for Server Storage

This SMUGDESK cable connects a SFF-8088 port to a high-density SFF-8644 interface for external SAS storage expansion. It links RAID controllers or host bus adapters to external disk enclosures and storage arrays. The 50cm length supports compact routing inside rackmount server chassis.

Suited for Dense External Routing

It suits administrators wiring external storage in space-constrained racks where a short, shielded run is required. Builders needing longer reach between separated cabinets or workstations should look at cables with greater length. This item does not serve internal backplane connections.

SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 Interface Bridge

The defining specification is the cross-interface connector pairing SFF-8088 on one end with SFF-8644 on the other. Verify that your controller presents the legacy SFF-8088 face and your enclosure uses the high-density SFF-8644 port before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 link is running at full SAS speed?

Check the RAID controller or HBA management utility for link status, negotiated width (4x), and error counters; a clean link with zero CRC errors means the 50cm cable is performing correctly.

What connectors and accessories are included, and what must I supply?

The box contains only the 50cm external Mini SAS cable with an SFF-8088 plug on one end and a high-density SFF-8644 plug on the other; you must provide the RAID controller, enclosure, and any mounting hardware.

Which version of this cable should I choose for a 4-lane external SAS connection?

Choose this exact SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 model; it is built for 4-lane external SAS links between controllers and high-density storage enclosures.
