SMUGDESK SFF-8643 to SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD 12Gbps infiniband cable

SKU CH-0MXT-1CC24

Connects SFF-8643 ports at 12Gbps for SAS and SATA drives in servers and NAS enclosures

  • Direct SFF-8643 link connects server card to backplane
  • Stable 12 Gbps transfer for SAS and SATA drives
  • Quality copper cuts signal loss for long runs
  • 1 metre length fits tidy internal routing
  • Plug-and-play with mainstream server boards and backplanes

Direct SFF-8643 Link

This MiniSAS HD cable connects a server array card directly to a hard-drive backplane using matching SFF-8643 connectors. It is built for administrators who need a reliable internal data path for SAS or SATA drives and RAID arrays in rackmount or NAS enclosures.

Suits single-port 12Gbps links.

The assembly serves installations where each port runs at 12Gbps over a one-metre copper route inside the chassis. Builders who require aggregated wide ports, longer reaches or external bulkhead connections should look at different cable types.

12Gbps rating over one metre

The cable is specified for steady 12Gbps transmission across a one-metre length, using shielded copper conductors to keep signal loss low in continuous server operation. This single speed-and-distance figure determines whether the link matches your controller and backplane requirements.

Questions about this item

Which SFF8643 cable should I pick for a 12Gbps SAS backplane?

Choose the 1 meter SFF8643-to-SFF8643 MiniSAS HD cable; it is built for direct controller-to-backplane links at 12Gbps.

What does the 12Gbps rating mean once the cable is installed?

It means each lane can signal at 12Gbps, giving full SAS3 speed for connected SAS and SATA drives and RAID arrays.

What interface standard does the SFF8643 connector cap in practice?

The SFF8643 connector carries the SAS3 electrical standard, limiting the link to 12Gbps per lane for SAS and SATA devices.
