SMUGDESK SFF-8482 SAS 29 Pin to SATA III 7Pin Cable with Molex Power 30cm 2 Pack

SFF-8482 SAS to SATA III cable

This SFF-8482 cable converts a 29-pin SAS controller port to a standard 7-pin SATA III interface, letting you attach SATA hard drives or SSDs to SAS RAID cards and host bus adapters. Each pack contains two 30cm cables, providing enough reach for internal wiring in compact chassis or NAS enclosures. The female-to-female design creates a direct link between the controller and the drive without extra adapters. It is intended for builders assembling RAID arrays or expanding server storage with SATA media.

Integrated Molex power and SATA III compliance

An LP4 4-pin Molex connector is moulded into the cable assembly so the attached drive receives dedicated power, reducing the chance of spin-up failures or drive drops under load. The signal path follows the SATA III 3.0 specification, preserving full throughput for mechanical and solid-state drives alike. Because the cable carries both data and auxiliary power, it frees up motherboard SATA power headers and simplifies cable routing in tight drive bays. No additional power splitters are required for typical single-drive connections.

Thermals noise and power draw

The cable itself is passive and generates no measurable heat or acoustic noise during operation. Power draw is limited to whatever the connected SATA device requires, delivered through the Molex pins from the host power supply. Securely moulded connectors resist vibration-induced signal loss, helping maintain stable operation in continuously running storage servers. No active cooling or fan headers are involved.
