SMUGDESK SFF8643 to 4×SFF8482 Breakout Cable with 15Pin Power, 12Gbps, 1M

SKU CH-87RE-K1HGK

Internal SFF8643 breakout cable splits one port into four SFF8482 connectors with integrated 15pin power, supporting 12Gbps SAS bandwidth for server storage arrays

  • Single SFF8643 port splits into four SFF8482 drive connectors
  • Integrated 15pin SAS power port supplies data and power together
  • 12Gbps bandwidth supports enterprise RAID arrays and storage controllers
  • Premium shielding minimises signal loss, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
  • 1M (3.3FT) length allows flexible internal routing in rackmount chassis

Breakout cable for SAS drives

This SMUGDESK breakout cable converts a single SFF8643 Mini SAS HD port into four 29pin SFF8482 connectors for SAS hard drives. It includes an integrated 15pin SAS power port to supply both data and power through one assembly. The design targets server administrators expanding internal storage arrays. Builders using backplanes without onboard power distribution benefit from the combined connector.

Fits 12Gbps RAID and server builds

The cable carries 12Gbps bandwidth suitable for enterprise RAID controllers and multi-drive storage expansion. It requires a controller or backplane with an SFF8643 interface and drives with SFF8482 connectors. The 1M length allows flexible routing inside rackmount chassis. It frees up additional power cables by delivering drive power through the integrated 15pin port.

Shielded for stable signal integrity

Premium anti-interference shielding minimises signal loss, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference during operation. Robust construction supports reliable long-term use in dense server environments. The integrated power delivery reduces separate cable runs, aiding airflow and thermal management within the chassis.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 Gbps rating hold when all four SFF8482 drives run sustained workloads?

The cable is specified for 12 Gbps bandwidth across each SFF8482 lane, and the premium shielding is designed to minimise signal loss and crosstalk during continuous operation.

How much heat does the integrated 15 pin power port add during all day operation?

The cable itself is passive and generates negligible heat; the 15 pin power port simply passes through supply from the backplane or controller to the SAS drives.

Which controller or backplane must I already have to use the SFF8643 end?

You need a host bus adapter, RAID controller or server backplane that provides an SFF8643 Mini SAS HD port with SAS signalling.
