SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 Mini SAS HD Cable

This internal cable connects an SFF-8643 host adapter to an SFF-8087 backplane or expander using a male-to-male design. The 1-metre length supports 12 Gbps SAS drives and 6 Gbps SAS or SATA drives. Each pack contains two cables built with copper conductors and 30 AWG ribbon cabling for high-flex routing inside server chassis.

Suits builders linking modern controllers

The SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 interface bridges SAS 3.0 and SAS 2.1 specifications, making it useful for mixed-speed environments. It is not for users who need SFF-8643 on both ends or SFF-8087 on both ends. Buyers requiring external connectors or different pinouts should look at other cable types.

Handles 6 Gbps and 12 Gbps drive traffic

The cable comfortably carries 6 Gbps SAS and SATA signals and supports 12 Gbps SAS drives when the controller and backplane allow. The thinner ribbon construction improves airflow and simplifies dense storage configurations. It runs out when the link requires a connector gender or form factor not provided by the SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 male-to-male layout.

Questions about this item

What controller connector does the SFF-8643 end of this cable plug into?

The SFF-8643 connector fits a 12Gbps SAS controller or HBA with an SFF-8643 port.

Will the SFF-8087 end still work with my existing 6Gbps SAS or SATA backplane?

Yes, the SFF-8087 connector is compatible with 6Gbps SAS and SATA backplanes and the cable meets SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specifications.

How can I verify the link is running at the expected 6Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or operating-system drive utility for a negotiated speed of 6Gbps on each attached drive.
