Internal SAS HD SFF-8643 to SATA cable
This new cable connects a Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 host port to four SATA 7-pin drives. It is built for internal server or RAID configurations that need to link multiple disks to a single controller. The 1.50 ft length suits compact chassis layouts. Buyers who need external connectivity or a different host interface cannot use this cable.
Signal performance
The assembly meets the SAS 2.1 specification at 6 Gb/s per lane. High-density SFF-8643 connectors are also defined for the SAS 3.0 standard, so the same physical interface will support 12 Gb/s when that specification is adopted. Copper conductors carry the signal inside the case. No thermal, noise or power-draw figures apply to this passive cable.
Bundled items
The product ships as the cable only; no brackets, screws or software are included. The four SATA breakout connectors let you attach up to four drives without extra adapters. Installers who require mounting hardware or management utilities must source them separately.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 end to my controller and the four SATA 7-pin ends to the drives?
Plug the single SFF-8643 connector into the host controller port, then attach each of the four SATA 7-pin plugs to a drive; the cable is keyed so it only fits one way.
What part of this cable is likely to wear out first with repeated drive swaps?
The SATA 7-pin connectors on the drive side see the most insertions and can loosen over time, while the SFF-8643 host end usually stays seated.
At what throughput does the 1.50 ft length hit its practical ceiling during sustained transfers?
The assembly is rated for 6 Gb/s per lane under the SAS 2.1 spec, so sustained traffic will plateau at that rate regardless of the short length.
