InLine Mini SAS HD Cable SFF-8643 to 4x SATA + Sideband 0.5m

This internal Mini SAS HD cable (SFF-8643 to 4x SATA + Sideband) is a 0.5 m connection cable designed for linking a Mini SAS HD 4i (SFF-8643) interface to up to four SATA devices. It supports sideband signaling for control and status communication and is intended for use where a SAS controller or backplane must connect to multiple SATA hard drives or SSDs.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact internal connection combining one SFF-8643 plug with four SATA plugs, enabling high-speed data transfer in server and storage systems. Its sideband support allows controller-level signaling between devices. The 0.5 m length keeps cable runs tidy inside chassis and reduces signal degradation compared with longer internal cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting a SAS controller with a Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) port to multiple SATA drives
• Backplane to drive connections inside servers and storage enclosures
• Upgrading or replacing internal cabling in RAID or JBOD systems
