SAS Cable Intel AXXCBL950HDHD

The Intel AXXCBL950HDHD is a 0.95 m Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cable supplied as a kit with two 950 mm cables. Each cable has straight SFF8643 connectors on both ends and is intended for high-performance data transfer and storage connectivity in server and data center environments. The cable is part of Intel's Cable Options series and carries an ECCN of EAR99.

Advantages

Provides two identical 950 mm SAS cables with straight-to-straight SFF8643 connectors for secure, point-to-point connections. Designed for compatibility with Intel server components and storage enclosures, ensuring consistent signal integrity for high-throughput workloads. The dual-cable kit offers redundancy or simultaneous connections as required by system layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS host adapters to SAS expander or drive backplanes
• High-density server and storage rack installations
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFF8643-to-SFF8643 links

How to use

Determine the required routing path inside the server or rack to avoid sharp bends and interference. Insert one SFF8643 connector firmly into the compatible SAS port until it seats; repeat for the other end. Use the second cable for a redundant or additional link as needed. Verify the system BIOS/RAID controller recognizes the connected devices and perform any necessary diagnostics after installation.

Recommendations

Store and route the cables to maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by server hardware guidelines, avoid excessive tension on connectors, and keep cables away from power or high-interference sources to preserve signal integrity.
