BLUEOPTICS HPE 716199-B21 Compatible BlueLAN MiniSAS Hybrid Cable, 4x Mini-SAS (SFF-8088) to 4x Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644), AWG30, 5 Meters (716199-B21-BL)

The BLUEOPTICS BlueLAN MiniSAS Hybrid Cable is a high-performance external SAS cable designed for reliable data transfer between storage devices and host systems. Compatible with HPE 716199-B21, this cable features 4x Mini-SAS (SFF-8088) male connectors on one end and 4x Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) male connectors on the other, providing a seamless connection for SAS-3 (12Gb/s) interfaces. With a length of 5 meters and AWG30 wire gauge, it supports up to 48 Gbps total bandwidth (4 lanes x 12 Gbps) and is backward compatible with SAS-2 and SAS-1.

Advantages

This cable ensures high-speed data transfer and robust connectivity for external SAS/SATA storage systems. Its hybrid design allows direct connection between legacy Mini-SAS and modern Mini-SAS HD ports, eliminating the need for adapters. The copper conductors with shielding provide excellent signal integrity and noise reduction, while RoHS compliance guarantees environmental safety.
