Vszerda

Vszerda SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 SAS Cable 1m

SKU CH-1NNV-8ZF73

One-metre external cable linking SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 ports for 6.0 Gbps SAS 2.1 and 3.0 connections

  • 6 Gbps per lane for RAID and server workloads
  • SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 connects Mini-SAS to HD Mini-SAS devices
  • AWG30 twinaxial 8-pair wire keeps signal skew low
  • 100 Ohm impedance meets SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specifications
  • Tested to Serial Attached SCSI 6 Gbps before shipment

SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 SAS Cable 1m

This 1-metre cable links an SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD port to an SFF-8088 external connector. It uses AWG30 twinaxial eight-pair wire with 100-Ohm impedance for low-skew signal integrity. The assembly is certified for 6.0 Gbps per lane under SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specifications. It ships new and ready for rack deployment.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The cable fits servers and RAID enclosures that expose an external SFF-8088 port and an internal SFF-8644 receptacle. It serves administrators who need a tested 6.0 Gbps link without signal degradation. Builders requiring longer reach, different connector pairings or internal-only routing should select another assembly.

Deciding specification: 6.0 Gbps per lane

The certified 6.0 Gbps per lane data rate is the single figure that determines compatibility. Systems designed for SAS 2.1 or 3.0 at this speed will operate correctly. Environments demanding higher lane rates or a different protocol will not be supported by this cable.

Highlights

  • 6 Gbps per lane for RAID and server workloads
  • SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 connects Mini-SAS to HD Mini-SAS devices
  • AWG30 twinaxial 8-pair wire keeps signal skew low
  • 100 Ohm impedance meets SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specifications
  • Tested to Serial Attached SCSI 6 Gbps before shipment

Questions about this item

What controller or backplane must I already have with an SFF-8644 port to use this cable?

You need a host bus adapter, RAID controller or backplane that provides an SFF-8644 (Mini SAS HD) connector supporting SAS 2.1 or 3.0 at 6.0 Gbps per lane.

Will this cable work with my older SAS 2.0 drives or enclosures that use SFF-8088 connectors?

Yes, the SFF-8088 end is fully compliant with SAS 2.0 (6 Gbps) and SAS 2.1 specifications, so it connects directly to legacy drives and enclosures.

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

Check the controller BIOS or operating-system SAS topology utility; it should report a negotiated speed of 6.0 Gbps on each of the four lanes with no CRC errors.
