Black flat cable with Mini SAS HD SFF-8088 and SFF-8643 connectors, 3m length

Vszerda

Vszerda Mini SAS HD SFF-8088 to SFF-8643 Cable 3m

SKU CH-CNK7-PPVG9

Connects external SAS enclosures to internal RAID controllers at 6 Gbps with shielded 28 AWG conductors

  • 6 Gbps transfer rate over SFF-8088 to SFF-8643 link
  • 28 AWG shielded construction for reliable signal integrity
  • 10 ohm electrical spec enables efficient data transfer
  • 3 metre length suits rack-to-rack server deployments
  • Broad compatibility with servers, RAID controllers and storage arrays

Connection Type and Speed

This cable links a Mini SAS HD SFF-8088 external port to an SFF-8643 internal connector at 6Gbps. It is built for servers, RAID controllers and external storage arrays that need a reliable high-speed SAS link.

Who This Suits

The 3 metre length and 28AWG construction suit rack-mounted systems where the controller sits outside the chassis. Buyers who need a shorter run or an internal-to-internal cable should choose a different length or connector pairing.

Installation Notes

The flat black connectors fit standard Mini SAS HD and SFF-8643 ports without adapters. Route the cable away from sharp metal edges to protect the shielding and maintain the specified 10 ohm low-resistance performance.

Questions about this item

What connectors must my controller and enclosure provide for this SFF-8088 to SFF-8643 cable?

Your controller needs an SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD port and the enclosure needs an SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD port, or vice versa, to match the cable ends.

Will the 6 Gbps link negotiate down if I connect older 3 Gbps SAS drives through this cable?

Yes, the SAS protocol auto-negotiates speed, so 3 Gbps drives will operate at their native rate across the 6 Gbps cable.

How can I verify the 10 ohm low-resistance spec is delivering error-free throughput after installation?

Run a sustained read-write test on the attached array and check the controller log for zero CRC or phy errors over several hours.
