Cable with MiniSAS HD and OCuLink connectors, 57cm long

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK MiniSAS HD 4X to OCuLink 4X Cable SFF-8643 36-pin to SFF-8611 42-pin 57cm

SKU CH-7AEQ-9297P

Converts MiniSAS HD SFF-8643 36-pin to OCuLink SFF-8611 42-pin for NVMe SSD and RAID connections in 57 cm server-grade cable

  • Connects MiniSAS HD SFF-8643 to OCuLink SFF-8611 for server storage
  • Matches part CBLSAST0929 for direct hardware compatibility
  • 57 cm length enables tidy internal routing in standard chassis
  • Shielded construction reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference
  • Supports high-bandwidth NVMe SSD and RAID controller links

MiniSAS HD to OCuLink Conversion

This cable converts a MiniSAS HD SFF-8643 36-pin 4X connection to an OCuLink SFF-8611 42-pin 4X interface. It matches the specification of part CBLSAST0929 for direct compatibility with corresponding server hardware. The cross-interface design enables linking NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers across different enterprise connector standards.

Replacing Legacy Interconnects

The assembly upgrades connections between mismatched MiniSAS HD and OCuLink ports found in server storage arrays. The jump is worth it when consolidating mixed-interface hardware or extending NVMe drive links without replacing the controller. Builders needing a different pin count or protocol conversion should select a cable matching their specific port requirements.

57 cm Optimised Server Length

The 57-centimetre length fits standard server chassis for neat internal routing between backplanes and add-in cards. Premium conductive materials and robust shielding deliver stable high-bandwidth transmission for NVMe solid-state drives and enterprise RAID systems. Installations requiring longer reach or external routing will need a different cable specification.

Questions about this item

Does the 36-pin SFF-8643 end need a specific port orientation to seat correctly?

The SFF-8643 connector is keyed; it only inserts one way into the MiniSAS HD 4X receptacle on your RAID controller or backplane.

What is the most common mistake when plugging the 42-pin SFF-8611 side into an NVMe drive cage?

Forcing the latch before the connector is fully bottomed out; push straight in until the click engages, then secure the latch.

How often should the 57 cm cable be inspected or replaced in a server running NVMe storage?

Check the shielding and latch integrity during any chassis service; replace only if the jacket is kinked, pins are bent or signal errors appear.
