SAS Cable BlueOptics BL464801GN3M30 3 m MiniSAS-HD MiniSAS 6 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics BL464801GN3M30 is a 3 m SAS cable engineered for reliable internal storage and server connections at up to 6 Gbit/s. It combines a MiniSAS-HD (SFF-8644) connector on one end with a MiniSAS (SFF-8088) connector on the other, enabling compatibility between devices that use different MiniSAS form factors. The cable is designed for internal PC and server racks where short, high-speed links are required. Its compact 3 m length and lightweight construction make routing and installation straightforward, while the standardized connectors ensure consistent electrical performance for SAS-based storage arrays.

Advantages

This SAS cable supports 6 Gbit/s data transfer rates, suitable for SATA and SAS storage devices operating at that speed. The combination of MiniSAS-HD and MiniSAS connectors provides flexibility when connecting modern host controllers to legacy or alternate storage enclosures. The cable’s 3 m length offers a balance between reach and signal integrity for typical internal rack layouts. A black jacket and a lightweight build help keep installations neat without adding significant weight inside chassis or racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to external or internal storage enclosures using MiniSAS-HD to MiniSAS interfaces
• Interfacing RAID controllers and host adapters with compatible storage arrays
• Short to medium internal cabling runs in rack-mounted servers and storage shelves

How to use

Power down equipment according to manufacturer procedures before connecting or disconnecting internal SAS cables. Align the MiniSAS-HD (SFF-8644) and MiniSAS (SFF-8088) connectors with their respective ports and insert them gently until seated. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity. Secure the cable with existing cable management points inside the chassis or rack to prevent strain on the connectors. After installation, power up devices and verify link status in the host controller or storage enclosure.

Lietošanas ieteikumi

Use the cable inside server racks or chassis where environmental grounding and airflow guidelines are met. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and do not flex the cable sharply at the connector ends. For reliable performance at 6 Gbit/s, keep cable runs within recommended lengths and minimize interference from high-power sources.
