SFF-8482 SAS 29+15 pin to SATA 7 pin cable with gold contacts and locking latch

SMUGDESK SFF-8482 SAS 29+15P to SATA 7P cable

SKU CH-VWW3-ZX93D

Connects SFF-8482 SAS drives to motherboard SATA ports with combined power and data, gold-plated contacts, locking latches, and shielded construction for server and NAS storage

  • Combined power and data in one SFF-8482 29+15P connector simplifies drive wiring
  • Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for stable long-term signal and power delivery
  • Locking latch design prevents accidental disconnection under server chassis vibration
  • Multi-layer shielding cuts electromagnetic interference to maintain reliable read-write performance
  • Flexible jacket tolerates repeated bending and high-temperature internal chassis environments

Purpose & Audience

This cable connects SFF-8482 SAS drives to a standard SATA 7-pin motherboard port, combining power and data in one run. It suits server builders, NAS assemblers and RAID array maintainers who need internal storage wiring for HDDs or SSDs.

Critical Specification

The SFF-8482 29+15-pin end delivers both signal and power to compatible drives, while the opposite end plugs into a motherboard SATA 7-pin header. SAS hard drives require a SAS-capable motherboard or HBA controller; a pure SATA motherboard will not recognise SAS drives even with this cable installed.

Installation & Common Issues

Locking latches on both connectors resist vibration-induced disconnection inside server chassis. Gold-plated contacts and multilayer shielding reduce oxidation and electromagnetic interference for stable operation. Verify that the host system supports SAS drives before purchasing, as the cable alone cannot enable SAS detection on SATA-only controllers.

Questions about this item

What does the 29+15pin SFF-8482 connector provide in a live system?

It delivers both data communication and power input to compatible SAS or SATA drives through a single cable, removing the need for a separate power lead.

Which interface standard does the motherboard end use and what does that limit?

The motherboard end is a standard SATA 7pin header, so the connection runs at SATA speeds and a pure SATA motherboard cannot identify SAS drives even with this cable.

What physical features keep the cable secured inside a server chassis?

Locking latch connectors on both ends prevent accidental unplugging caused by vibration, and the flexible shielded jacket tolerates repeated bending in tight bays.
