External Mini SAS HD cable pair

Two SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cables provide a 6.6 ft link between HD Mini-SAS and legacy Mini-SAS ports. Each assembly is rated for 6 Gbps per channel using twinaxial 8-pair construction with 100 Ohm impedance. The male-to-male connectors support hot-plug installation in servers and storage racks.

Connector mismatch decides fit

The hybrid SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 pinout bridges newer HD Mini-SAS controllers to older Mini-SAS backplanes or enclosures. Buyers whose equipment uses identical ports on both ends cannot use this cable. Verify the exact port keying on each device before ordering.

Thermals noise and power

Passive copper twinax carries signal without active circuitry, so the cables add no fan noise or measurable heat to the chassis. Power draw is limited to the negligible signalling current defined by the SAS 2.1 and 3.0 specifications. Shielded pairs maintain low-skew integrity across the full 6.6 ft run.

Questions about this item

What does the 6 Gbps per channel rating mean once the cable is installed?

Each of the eight differential pairs can move data at up to 6 Gbps, giving the link enough headroom for SAS 2.1 drives and full compatibility with SAS 3.0 host ports.

Which SAS interface standard does the SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 connection cap at in practice?

The assembly is tested to the Serial Attached SCSI 6.0 Gbps specification and is fully compatible with both SAS 2.1 and SAS 3.0 interface specifications.

What physical clearance is needed to route the 6.6 ft twinaxial cable in a rack?

The cable measures 78.74 inches long with a 0.39 inch diameter, weighs 14.39 ounces per unit, and uses AWG30 twinax construction that bends easily around server rails.
