Vszerda SFF-8644 to 4x SFF-8482 SAS cable 3.3ft 2-pack with IDE power

SKU CH-WZGX-8GFXR

Connects a Mini SAS SFF-8644 controller to four SFF-8482 drives with IDE power, 3.3 ft each, two cables

  • Connect four drives from one controller port
  • Supports SAS 3.0 speeds up to 6 Gbps
  • Includes IDE power connectors for drive power
  • 3 ft length fits compact server chassis
  • Two cables per pack for dual-port setups

Two-pack Mini SAS cable kit

This kit provides two internal cables that convert a single Mini SAS SFF-8644 port into four 29-pin SFF-8482 connections, each with an integrated IDE power lead. The assembly is compliant with SAS 3.0 and supports a maximum interface speed of 6Gbps, limited by the attached controller and drives.

Suited for multi-drive SAS arrays

Builders expanding a hardware RAID card or HBA that uses the SFF-8644 interface can attach up to four SAS hard drives per cable without a separate backplane. The fixed 3.3-foot length and bundled IDE power connectors restrict use to chassis where drives sit close to the controller and accept legacy power plugs.

SFF-8644 to four SFF-8482 breakout

The defining specification is the SFF-8644 to 4 x SFF-8482 pin-out with SAS 3.0 compliance, which dictates whether the cable matches the controller port and drive connectors in a given system.

Highlights

  • Connect four drives from one controller port
  • Supports SAS 3.0 speeds up to 6 Gbps
  • Includes IDE power connectors for drive power
  • 3 ft length fits compact server chassis
  • Two cables per pack for dual-port setups

Questions about this item

Will the 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors need replacing if the latch tabs break?

The 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors are moulded onto the cable; a broken latch means replacing that entire cable assembly.

At what point does the 6 Gbps SAS 3.0 link become the bottleneck during sustained transfers?

The cable is rated for SAS 3.0 at 6 Gbps; sustained throughput will be limited by the slowest connected drive or controller, not the cable itself.

Does the IDE power lead add noticeable heat when all four drives run continuously?

The IDE power lead only supplies voltage to the drives; the cable carries data signals, so it does not generate additional heat during all-day operation.
