Vszerda SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD Cable 1.5m

SKU CH-YYET-VYN1J

Connects SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 with 1.5m 100-Ohm twinaxial cable supporting 6.0 Gbps SAS 2.1 and 3.0

  • 0 Gbps per lane for fast SAS transfers
  • SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 hybrid connects Mini SAS HD to Mini SAS
  • AWG30 twinaxial 8-pair low-skew wire keeps signals clean
  • 100-Ohm impedance matches SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 specs
  • 5 m (4.9 ft) external reach for rack-to-rack links

Connector Pair and Length

This Vszerda cable joins an SFF-8644 port to an SFF-8088 port over a 1.5 metre run. It is built for external SAS links between RAID controllers, servers and storage enclosures in data-centre racks.

Who It Suits and Who It Does Not

Installers wiring 6.0 Gbps SAS 2.0 or 2.1 equipment with this hybrid connector mix will find the 100-ohm twinaxial pairs fully certified. Buyers whose gear demands lane rates beyond 6.0 Gbps must choose a different cable.

6.0 Gbps Lane Rate Certification

Each assembly passes Serial Attached SCSI 6.0 Gbps compliance testing before shipment and meets SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 interface specifications. The 26-pin, 8-pair AWG30 construction guarantees the stated drive performance at that speed.

Questions about this item

What connector does my RAID card or HBA need to accept the SFF-8644 end of this cable?

The host side uses an SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD connector, so your controller must provide that 26-pin port to plug this cable in.

Will this 6.0 Gbps cable slow down my older SAS 2.0 drives?

The cable is fully compliant with SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 specifications and carries 6.0 Gbps per lane, so it will not bottleneck SAS 2.0 devices running at lower speeds.

How can I verify the link is running at the rated 6.0 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a negotiated link speed of 6.0 Gbps on each lane; the cable was subject to Serial Attached SCSI 6.0 Gbps test certification before shipment.
