Vszerda SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 SAS cable 0.5 m 6 Gbps

Mini SAS Hybrid Cable 0.5 m

This 0.5-metre cable links an SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD port to an SFF-8088 external connector at 6.0 Gbps per channel. It suits RAID arrays, direct-attached storage, HBA links and server backplanes that require an external SAS 2.1 or 3.0 path. The 30 AWG construction carries 24 conductors in a shielded bundle rated for 100 ohms differential impedance. Buyers who need longer runs or internal-only routing should choose a different cable.

Plug-and-play external link

Both ends are female-to-female so the assembly mates directly with standard bulkhead or HBA ports without adapters. The hybrid SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 pinout follows the SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specifications, so signal integrity is preserved across the 1.64 ft length. A common error is forcing the keyed SFF-8644 shell past its latch; align the ridge before pressing to avoid bent pins. No driver or firmware step is required on the host side.

Sustained 6 Gbps throughput

Each channel is certified to the Serial Attached SCSI 6.0 Gbps test before dispatch, confirming stable performance under continuous load rather than brief bursts. The high-speed shielding limits EMI so multi-drive rebuilds and backup streams keep their rated bandwidth over the full 1.6 metre span. Workloads that demand higher signalling rates or active optical reach fall outside this copper design.
