SAS Cable Intel AXXCBL875HDHD

The Intel AXXCBL875HDHD is a 0.875 m Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cable with straight SFF8643 connectors on both ends. Designed for server and storage environments, this cable provides a direct SAS connection between compatible controllers, backplanes, or HBAs and supports reliable high-speed data transfer. It is part of Intel's Cable Options series and carries an ECCN of EAR99.

Advantages

This SAS cable offers a standardized SFF8643 connector on each end for straightforward point-to-point connections, a compact 0.875 m length suitable for short internal routing in rack systems, and compatibility with Intel server components. The fixed straight connectors reduce signal loss and simplify installation in dense server configurations.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS controllers to drive backplanes
• Internal server or storage array cabling where short cable runs are required
• Upgrading or replacing existing SFF8643-to-SFF8643 links

How to use

Route the cable inside the server chassis or storage enclosure between compatible SFF8643 ports, avoiding sharp bends and interference from power cables. Ensure both ends are fully seated in the SFF8643 sockets until the connector latches (if present) engage. Verify link status in the host firmware or operating system after installation to confirm proper recognition and operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for short internal connections within racks or enclosures and avoid excessive bending or stretching. Match the cable length to the installation to minimize slack and maintain tidy airflow. Confirm compatibility with your server or HBA documentation for supported SAS link speeds and lane configurations.
