Vszerda SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD Cable 6Gbps 26Pin 2m

SKU CH-6NC4-3XVY3

Connects SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 ports at 6.0 Gbps per lane over 2 metres

  • Connects SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 Mini SAS ports
  • Supports 6.0 Gbps per lane for SAS 2.1 performance
  • AWG30 twinaxial 8-pair wire reduces signal skew
  • 100 Ohm impedance matches SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specs
  • Each cable tested to Serial Attached SCSI 6.0 Gbps before shipment

Vszerda SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 Cable

This Vszerda cable bridges SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD connectors over a two-metre run. It uses AWG30 twinaxial eight-pair wiring with 100-ohm impedance and carries 6.0 Gbps per lane. The assembly is tested for Serial Attached SCSI 6.0 Gbps compliance before shipment.

Suits SAS 2.0 and SAS 3.0 links

Builders wiring external RAID enclosures, server backplanes or data-centre storage shelves between these two connector types can use this hybrid cable. Systems that demand lane speeds beyond 6.0 Gbps or a different pinout will not work with this assembly.

6.0 Gbps per lane signalling rate

The cable guarantees SAS 2.1 drive performance at 6.0 Gbps per lane and meets SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 interface specifications. This single rate determines whether the link matches your controller and backplane requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 connectors on this 26-pin cable fit my RAID controller and external JBOD ports?

Yes. The cable terminates in a 26-pin SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD plug on one end and a SFF-8088 Mini SAS plug on the other, matching the standard external ports on most RAID cards and drive enclosures.

What is the correct way to seat the SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 ends, and what step do installers often miss?

Push each connector straight in until the latch clicks; the common mistake is stopping at the first resistance instead of applying the extra pressure needed to fully engage the locking tab on both the HD and legacy Mini SAS ends.

How long before the AWG30 twinaxial pairs or 100-ohm impedance degrade and the cable needs replacing?

The AWG30 twinaxial 8-pair construction is rated for the full SAS 2.1 and 3.0 lifecycle at 6.0 Gbps per lane; under normal rack temperatures and without tight bend radii the cable typically outlasts the connected hardware.
