External SAS Adapter Cable

This 18 cm adapter cable connects a Mini SAS HD SFF-8088 8X 68P male port to two SFF-8644 36P male ports for external-to-external SAS links. It targets system integrators and data-centre operators who need to bridge controllers and enclosures in high-density racks.

Suited for multi-lane RAID arrays

The cable serves builders wiring external RAID enclosures to enterprise SAS controllers where secure locking connectors and EMI shielding matter. It is not for internal backplane cabling, single-lane configurations or any interface other than SAS.

12 Gbps per lane over SFF-8088 to dual SFF-8644

Each of the eight lanes carries up to 12 Gbps, and the Y-split topology maps one 68-pin connector to two 36-pin connectors. Verify that both endpoints use the specified Mini SAS HD standards before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What SAS lane speed does the SFF-8088 8X 68P interface support?

The SFF-8088 8X 68P interface supports up to 12Gbps per lane for external SAS connections.

What physical space is needed to route the 18cm cable between the 68P and 36P connectors?

The 18cm length requires minimal clearance; secure locking connectors on both 68P and 36P ends need room for the latch mechanism to engage fully.

How do you correctly seat the secure locking connectors on the SFF-8088 and SFF-8644 ends?

Align each male connector with its port, push straight in until the latch clicks, then verify the lock is engaged on both the 68P and each 36P connector.
