SMUGDESK SFF8643 Mini SAS HD to 4×29Pin SFF8482 with Power Port 12Gbps

SKU CH-WSQ3-5HW50

Internal Mini SAS HD breakout cable converts one SFF8643 port to four 29-pin SFF8482 drive connectors with integrated power port for 12Gbps SAS/SATA storage expansion

  • Converts one SFF8643 port to four 29-pin SFF8482 drive connections for multi-storage expansion
  • Integrated power port supplies direct drive power to simplify server internal wiring layout
  • Delivers stable 12Gbps high-speed data transfer for SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs
  • One-meter length enables flexible routing inside rackmount servers and storage backplanes
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with mainstream server motherboards and backplanes for reliable quality

SFF8643 to 4×SFF8482 breakout cable

This one-metre internal cable converts a single SFF8643 Mini SAS HD port into four 29-pin SFF8482 connectors with an integrated power port. It lets a server motherboard or backplane drive up to four SAS or SATA hard drives directly, saving host-interface resources. The 12 Gbps bandwidth supports both HDDs and SSDs in RAID or bulk-storage configurations.

Suits builders expanding drive count on a Mini SAS

The cable is aimed at administrators adding multiple drives to a server, NAS enclosure or storage backplane that already provides an SFF8643 port and can supply power through the auxiliary connector. It is not for systems that lack an SFF8643 host port or that need a different drive connector type.

12 Gbps SAS/SATA bandwidth decides fit

The link runs at 12 Gbps, so the host controller and target drives must both support that speed to realise the rated throughput. If the controller or drives are limited to a lower SAS or SATA rate, the cable will still function but at the slower negotiated speed.

Questions about this item

What interface must my backplane or controller expose to plug in the SFF-8643 end of this cable?

The cable requires a single SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD port on your controller or backplane to accept the 12 Gbps input connection.

Will my existing SFF-8482 drives work with the four breakout connectors on this cable?

Each of the four 29-pin SFF-8482 outputs accepts standard SAS or SATA hard drives and SSDs, so current drives using that interface connect directly.

How can I verify the link is running at the rated 12 Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or operating-system storage utility; it should report a negotiated 12 Gbps link speed on each attached drive port.
