SlimSAS 4i 38-pin to MiniSAS-HD 36-pin cable

This Vszerda cable links a SlimSAS 4i 38-pin host port to a MiniSAS-HD 36-pin target port. It carries four signal channels for SAS or PCIe traffic inside servers or storage enclosures. Builders working with SFF-8654 and SFF-8643 equipment use it to connect backplanes, HBAs or RAID controllers.

PCIe Gen4.0 and SAS3.0 protocol limits

The cable supports PCIe Gen4.0 at 8 GT/s per lane and SAS3.0 at 24 Gbps per lane. Four lanes deliver the rated throughput only when both ends and the interconnect meet the same specification. Older SAS or PCIe generations will negotiate down to their own maximum speeds. Cable length and signal integrity also affect the realised rate.

High-speed shielded male-to-male build

A black high-speed shielded jacket protects the four differential pairs over the one-metre run. Male-to-male 38-pin and 36-pin connectors lock securely into SFF-8654 and SFF-8643 receptacles. The slim connector profile saves space in dense drive cages. Installers needing right-angle plugs or a different pin count must choose another part.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 38-pin or 36-pin end for my controller?

The 38-pin SlimSAS SFF-8654 end connects to the host; the 36-pin MiniSAS-HD SFF-8643 end connects to the target device.

What does 24 Gbps mean when the cable is installed?

Each of the four channels carries 24 Gbps for SAS-3 and 8 GT/s for PCIe 4.0, giving aggregate bandwidth across all lanes.

Which SAS standard does the SFF-8643 connector limit me to?

The MiniSAS-HD SFF-8643 connector supports SAS-3 at 24 Gbps per lane and PCIe 4.0 at 8 GT/s per lane.
