Vszerda SFF-8643 to 4x SATA cable 0.5 m 1.6 ft

SKU CH-ZCRF-QMNRH

Connects a Mini SAS SFF-8643 host port to four SATA drives over a 0.5 m cable

Cable Length 3.3 Feet

  • Connect four SATA drives via one SFF-8643 port
  • 5 m length fits compact server chassis
  • SFF-8643 host connector plugs into RAID controllers
  • Supports 12 Gb SAS throughput for fast storage
  • Straightforward internal cabling for HDD and SSD arrays

Connects SFF-8643 host to four SATA drives

This 0.5 metre cable links a motherboard or RAID controller with an SFF-8643 port to up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs. The host end uses the compact SFF-8643 connector while the target end splits into four standard 7-pin SATA plugs. It is built for internal server or workstation storage chains.

Suits builders wiring internal SAS controllers

The cable only works when the SFF-8643 port is on the host side such as a controller or motherboard. It will not function if the SFF-8643 connector sits on a backplane or drive enclosure. Buyers needing a backplane-to-controller link or a longer run should look at a different cable.

Cable length is 0.5 metre

The fixed 1.6 foot length fits tight chassis routing between a controller card and nearby drive bays. No other length is offered with this part number. Measure the internal path before ordering to confirm the reach is sufficient.

Questions about this item

What length and connector type do I need to reach from an SFF-8643 port to four SATA drives?

The cable is 0.5 m (1.6 ft) long with an SFF-8643 host connector on one end and four SATA 7-pin plugs on the other.

Which end plugs into the controller and which end plugs into the drives, and what is the common mistake?

The SFF-8643 end goes into the motherboard or RAID controller; the four SATA ends go to the drives. The mistake is using it with a backplane that has an SFF-8643 port — this cable will not work there.

Will this cable support 12 Gb/s SAS speeds when I upgrade my drives later?

Yes, the SFF-8643 interface is designed for a smooth transition from 6 Gb/s to 12 Gb/s SAS, so the same cable can handle the higher speed.
