HighPoint 8643-8639-50 Cable - SFF-8643 to U.2 SFF-8639 Connector with 15-pin SATA Power Connector

The HighPoint 8643-8639-50 is a 0.5-meter cable that connects an SFF-8643 host interface to a U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe SSD and includes a 15-pin SATA power connector. It suits server and workstation builders with compatible NVMe hardware.

Recommended For

• Workstation and server builders connecting a 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe SSD to a compatible SFF-8643 PCIe/NVMe host port, with a SATA power lead available for the cable.
• HighPoint SSD7120, SSD7180, SSD7184, Rocket 1120, or Rocket 1180 owners building an internal U.2 NVMe storage setup with a supported cable connection.
• System builders placing U.2 drives away from a controller or host connector who need an internal cable around 0.5 m long.
• Users assembling PCIe 3.0 NVMe storage who want a cable HighPoint identifies for its U.2 RAID-controller ecosystem and lists as qualified with selected Intel, Micron, and HGST U.2 SSDs.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a server or workstation with a compatible HighPoint NVMe controller, connect an internal 2.5-inch U.2 SSD; the cable carries the drive connection while its SATA power plug connects to the system power supply.
• When adding U.2 NVMe capacity to a home lab, use the cable between a U.2 SSD and a compatible PCIe NVMe adapter or controller; the drive can then serve as additional system storage, provided the host supports PCIe/NVMe on that connection.
• For an NVMe RAID build using a compatible HighPoint controller, connect a U.2 SSD as one of the controller’s drives; HighPoint lists this cable as tested with the SSD7120 and major U.2 SSDs.
• When rerouting or replacing a cable in an existing U.2 setup, its 0.5-meter length can connect a compatible SFF-8643 NVMe host to a U.2 drive while allowing the drive to be mounted elsewhere in the chassis; check clearance and airflow around the drive.
