Connects a Mini SAS SFF-8643 controller to four SFF-8483 drives with an integrated 15-pin power port

  • ColorBlack & Blue.
  • Connect one SFF-8643 host to four SFF-8483 drives
  • Integrated 15-pin power connector supplies drives directly

SFF-8643 to four SFF-8483 fan-out cable

This 1.6 ft adapter connects a single Mini SAS SFF-8643 host port on a controller or motherboard to four 29-pin SFF-8483 targets. It is built for internal use in servers or workstations that need to break out one x4 link into four individual SAS or SATA drive connections. A 15-pin power port is included on the cable assembly.

Thermals noise and power draw

The cable itself is passive and adds no active cooling requirement or audible noise to the system. Power for the attached drives is supplied through the 15-pin connector, so the host controller does not need to provide drive power over the SFF-8643 link. Normal use adds negligible resistance to the signal path.

Replaces direct backplane or SFF-8644 cabling

Use this when your RAID card or motherboard presents an SFF-8643 port but your drive cages or backplanes use individual SFF-8483 connectors. It will not work if the host side is an SFF-8644 port, so verify the controller connector before purchasing. The jump is worth it when expanding a single controller port to four drives without a backplane.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the SFF-8643 host end to my RAID controller?

Plug the single SFF-8643 connector into the controller's internal Mini SAS port; the four SFF-8483 plugs then attach to each drive's 29-pin receptacle and the 15-pin power port supplies drive power.

Will the 15-pin power connector or the 29-pin drive ends wear out first?

The 29-pin SFF-8483 drive connectors see frequent insertion cycles during drive swaps, so they typically need attention before the 15-pin power plug which usually stays seated.

At what cable length does signal integrity become the limiting factor?

At 1.6 ft (0.5 m) the fan-out stays within the Mini SAS SFF-8643 electrical budget, so length is not the first limit; sustained throughput is bounded by the controller and drive capabilities instead.
