One SFF8643 Mini SAS HD plug splitting into four SFF8482 29pin connectors with integrated 15pin power, 1meter braided cable

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF8643 Mini SAS HD to 4× SFF8482 Breakout Cable 1M 12Gb/s SAS 3.0 with 15Pin Power

SKU CH-0N2E-X9ZX0

Connects one SFF8643 RAID port to four SFF8482 drives with integrated 15pin power at 12Gb/s

  • Converts one SFF8643 host port into four independent 29pin SFF8482 drive interfaces
  • Delivers 12Gb/s SAS 3.0 bandwidth per channel with backward compatibility to 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s
  • Integrated 15pin SAS power port supplies drives directly without extra SATA power cables
  • 0 metre braided shielded cable ensures clean routing and stable 24hour operation
  • Strictly host oriented breakout cable designed for RAID controller SFF8643 port deployment

SFF8643 to Four SFF8482 Drive Connections

This SMUGDESK breakout cable converts a single SFF8643 Mini SAS HD host port into four independent SFF8482 29pin drive interfaces. It is built for server, workstation and NAS administrators who need to attach four SAS or SATA hard disk drives directly to a RAID controller. The 1.0 metre length suits standard chassis layouts while the integrated 15pin power port on each target connector supplies drive power without extra wiring.

Build Integration and Cable Management

The cable plugs into a RAID controller or host card SFF8643 port and cannot be used with a backplane SFF8643 connection. Fullcoverage shielding and tinned copper conductors suppress electromagnetic interference for stable 24hour operation in datacritical environments. Each SFF8482 end combines data and power contacts, freeing up internal space by eliminating separate SATA power cables and simplifying chassis routing.

Upgrade Path and Compatibility Scope

The assembly supports SAS 3.0 at 12Gbps per channel and remains backward compatible with SAS 2.0, SAS 1.0 and SATA devices. It replaces older breakout cables that lack integrated power delivery or that only operate at 6Gbps. The jump is worthwhile when deploying new 12Gbps drives or when consolidating power and data into a single managed harness for fourdrive arrays.

Questions about this item

How much bandwidth does each SFF8482 channel deliver under sustained load?

Each channel delivers up to 12Gbps per the SAS 3.0 specification, with backward compatibility to 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS and SATA devices.

What heat or noise impact should I expect during 24hour continuous operation?

The fully braided shield and tinned copper conductors suppress EMI and crosstalk, enabling stable 24hour operation without active cooling or added acoustic noise.

Which host connector must already be present on my RAID controller for this cable to work?

Your controller needs an SFF8643 Mini SAS HD host port; the cable is strictly host oriented and will not function if plugged into a backplane SFF8643 port.
