SFF8643 Mini SAS HD plug fanning out to four SFF8482 29pin connectors with 15pin power, gold contacts, 3.3ft cable

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF8643 Mini SAS HD to 4×SFF8482 29Pin Breakout Cable with 15Pin Power Port, 12Gbps 3.3ft

SKU CH-NM8A-QMBT2

Connects a 12 Gbps SAS 3.0 controller to four drives using a single Mini SAS HD plug that splits into 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors with integrated 15-pin power

  • 12Gbps bandwidth for fast RAID array performance
  • SAS 3.0 compliant for enterprise storage reliability
  • 29-pin SFF8482 connectors combine data and power
  • Gold-plated locking latches resist vibration in racks
  • 3ft length fits standard server chassis routing

Internal SAS breakout cable

This 3.3ft SFF8643 Mini SAS HD cable breaks out to four 29pin SFF8482 connectors, each integrating a SAS 15pin power port for combined data and power delivery. It connects a RAID or HBA controller directly to SAS or SATA hard drives inside a server or NAS chassis. Goldplated locking connectors resist vibration and oxidation for a secure fit. The design eliminates separate SATA power cords for cleaner internal wiring.

Suited for RAID controller upgrades

Builders adding SAS or SATA drives to an HBA or RAID card with an SFF8643 port will find this forward breakout cable matches the host interface and drive connectors exactly. It supports 12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth for heavy array workloads. Not suited for configurations that require a different host connector type or drives needing separate power inputs. Also not suited for external enclosure links.

12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth

The cable is fully compliant with the SAS 3.0 specification, providing up to 12Gbps per channel transmission speed. This single figure determines whether the link can sustain the throughput your RAID array demands under continuous load. If your controller or backplane operates at a lower generation, the cable will still function at that speed.

Questions about this item

Does the 12Gbps SAS 3.0 cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when running all day in a server?

The cable is passive copper wiring; it carries 12Gbps signals without active components, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw beyond the drives themselves.

What controller or backplane must I already have to plug the SFF8643 end into?

You need a RAID card or HBA controller with an SFF8643 Mini SAS HD port, or a backplane that presents the same host-side connector.

Will the 29-pin SFF8482 connectors work with the older SAS drives I am keeping from a previous build?

Yes, each SFF8482 port delivers both 12Gbps data and 15-pin SAS power, so legacy SAS or SATA drives that accept the combined connector will operate without extra cables.
