SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK MiniSAS HD SFF8643 to 4x SFF8482 SAS Cable

SKU CH-HMNQ-1P5XP

Splits one SFF8643 MiniSAS HD port into four SFF8482 ports for direct SAS drive connection with integrated power, available in .5m or 1m shielded lengths for server and NAS storage expansion

  • Single SFF8643 port splits to four SFF8482 drive connectors
  • Each SFF8482 port delivers both data and power to SAS drives
  • Shielded construction reduces crosstalk for reliable highspeed SAS transmission
  • Choose .5 or 1 metre length to suit chassis cable routing
  • Designed for server, NAS and workstation storage expansion with RAID arrays

Connection and compatibility

This SMUGDESK breakout cable converts a single MiniSAS HD SFF8643 36pin host port into four SFF8482 29+15pin connectors for SAS hard drives and solid-state drives. The SFF8482 interface combines signal and power contacts, allowing direct drive connection without separate power cables. Two length options of .5 metre and 1 metre suit different chassis routing requirements.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders expanding a server, NAS or workstation with multiple SAS drives on one controller port will find the shielded, high-density design useful for stable high-speed transmission. Buyers whose host adapter lacks a native SFF8643 port or whose drives use standard SATA connectors without the SFF8482 interface cannot use this cable as intended.

What the bundle changes

No additional accessories or software are included with the cable itself. The integrated power pins on each SFF8482 output eliminate the need to source separate drive power cables, simplifying internal cabling for multi-disk RAID arrays. The flexible jacket aids tidy cable management inside the case.

Questions about this item

What host controller port does this cable require?

It plugs into a single SFF8643 36pin MiniSAS HD port on the host adapter.

Can I connect drives that use the SATA interface instead of SAS?

Not fully compatible with ordinary SATA drives without an SFF8482 interface.

How can I confirm each drive link is active after installation?

The host adapter or RAID BIOS should show four separate SAS devices on the SFF8643 port.
