0.5M 1.6FT Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to 4 SFF-8482 Fan-out Breakout Cable, 12Gbps SAS RAID Controller to Hard Drive Cord with Integrated IDE Molex SATA Power Supply for Server Storage Array Connection

This 0.5-meter (1.6 feet) Mini SAS HD fan-out breakout cable is a dedicated internal storage wiring harness for enterprise servers, RAID arrays, NAS enclosures and data center storage systems. It adopts SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD male connector to plug into SAS RAID HBA controllers, and fans out to four separate SFF-8482 hard drive interface terminals, allowing a single controller channel to drive four 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SAS and SATA hard drives at the same time, greatly improving the density of server storage expansion.

Complying with SAS 3.0 12Gbps transmission protocol, the cable delivers ultra-fast data transfer speed without bandwidth bottlenecks during multi-disk concurrent access, file server backup and virtual machine disk read-write tasks. A core optimized design is the built-in combined IDE 4Pin Molex and SATA 15Pin power connectors, which can directly take power from the server power supply to each connected hard disk. This eliminates the need for arranging separate power cords one by one, simplifies messy internal chassis wiring and reduces the risk of loose power plugs caused by equipment vibration.

The entire cable is wrapped with double-layer aluminum foil and braided shielding material, which strongly suppresses electromagnetic crosstalk generated by the motherboard, CPU and power modules in the dense server cabinet. It effectively avoids common faults such as RAID offline, disk drop-off and speed reduction during long-term non-stop running. Each SFF-8482 port comes with a locking buckle structure to lock the hard drive connector firmly, suitable for rack-mounted servers with vibration during operation.

The short 0.5m length avoids redundant cable accumulation inside narrow drive cages, ensures smooth airflow for hard drive heat dissipation and lowers the probability of hard disk overheating failure. Widely compatible with LSI/Broadcom SAS RAID cards, server hard drive backplanes, hot-swap hard drive trays and all 12G SAS / 6G SATA mechanical hard drives and enterprise SSDs. It is a professional essential wiring accessory for system integrators, IT engineers and storage architects building high-reliability server disk arrays.
