SMUGDESK QSFP 40G SFF8436 to MiniSAS HD SFF8088 Cable 28AWG NetApp DS4243 DS4246 2M

SKU CH-KZAN-92M8M

A 28AWG copper cable linking a QSFP 40G SFF8436 port to a MiniSAS HD SFF8088 connector for NetApp DS4243 and DS4246 shelves, built for stable SAS data transfer in rack deployments

  • Cross-standard QSFP 40G SFF8436 to MiniSAS HD SFF8088 link connects enterprise storage
  • 28AWG pure copper conductors ensure low-loss, stable high-bandwidth data transmission
  • Precisely compatible with NetApp DS4243 and DS4246 disk shelves
  • 2-meter length supports tidy medium-range rackmount wiring
  • Rugged industrial-grade design built for long-term reliable operation

Cross-standard enterprise interconnect

This cable bridges QSFP 40G SFF8436 and MiniSAS HD SFF8088 interfaces for enterprise storage interconnection. It is built for administrators linking NetApp DS4243 and DS4246 disk shelves to storage controller systems. The 28AWG pure copper construction delivers low-loss, stable high-bandwidth data transmission. Rugged industrial-grade design supports long-term reliable operation in server and storage deployments.

Build integration and wiring

The cross-interface design connects storage controllers with QSFP ports to disk enclosures using MiniSAS HD connectors. The 2 metre length suits medium-range rackmount wiring in data centre environments. It frees up space by eliminating the need for intermediate adapters or transceivers. Pure copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the link without active components.

Suited for NetApp shelf expansion

This cable suits operators expanding NetApp DS4243 or DS4246 storage arrays with matching controller hardware. It is not for environments lacking QSFP 40G or MiniSAS HD SFF8088 ports. Buyers needing different connector types or longer reach should look at other cable assemblies. The fixed length and specific pinout limit use to compatible enterprise storage configurations.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth ceiling does the 40G QSFP SFF8436 end impose on sustained transfers?

The QSFP 40G SFF8436 interface supports up to 40Gbps aggregate throughput, so sustained SAS traffic cannot exceed that signalling rate.

How much heat does the 28AWG copper cable add to a rack running 24/7?

Passive 28AWG copper generates negligible heat; the cable itself adds no measurable thermal load to the rack.

Which controller ports must already exist to plug this cable into a NetApp DS4243 or DS4246 shelf?

You need a controller or HBA with QSFP 40G SFF8436 ports; the shelf side uses MiniSAS HD SFF8088 connectors.
