SAS Cable BlueOptics BLIS4343-80CM 0.8m 12 Gbit/s Black

The BlueOptics BLIS4343-80CM is a 0.8m Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cable engineered for 12 Gbit/s data transfer between storage controllers, backplanes and host adapters. Featuring SFF-8643 connectors on both ends and a black jacket, this cable provides a short, direct link for high-throughput server and data center environments. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures it meets common regulatory and safety requirements. The compact 0.8 metre length reduces cable clutter while supporting reliable, low-latency connections for enterprise storage systems.

Advantages

The cable supports 12 Gbit/s signalling with SFF-8643 interfaces on both ends to maintain full SAS performance across short runs. Its 0.8 m length is suitable for rack-mounted equipment where close connectivity is required, reducing excess cabling and improving airflow. The black outer jacket offers a standard appearance compatible with existing equipment, and the cable is lightweight and simple to route and install. Certification to CE, FCC and RoHS provides assurance of regulatory conformity and material safety.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS host bus adapters to backplanes or RAID controllers
• Short runs between servers and storage enclosures in racks
• Data centre and server room cabling where 12 Gbit/s SAS is required
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFF-8643 to SFF-8643 connections

• Regulatory compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS

How to use

Identify the SFF-8643 connector ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring both ends are compatible with SAS 12 Gbit/s signalling. With equipment powered down according to your site's maintenance procedures, align each SFF-8643 plug with the device receptacle and insert firmly until seated. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and obstructing airflow, using existing cable management if available. After installation, power on devices and verify link status through system diagnostics or controller firmware to confirm stable operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for short internal rack connections where a 0.8 m length is sufficient. Avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress near the connectors. Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and keep certification documents available for compliance checks.
