1M External Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 To Internal Mini SAS 36 Pin SFF-8087 Cable

Introduction

The External Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to Internal Mini SAS 36 Pin SFF-8087 cable is a type of cable used to connect an external SAS device, such as a RAID controller or hard drive enclosure, to an internal SAS controller or motherboard.

The cable features an external Mini SAS HD connector on one end and an internal Mini SAS connector on the other end. The Mini SAS HD connector is a high-density connector that provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps per lane, while the internal Mini SAS connector has a lower density and provides data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps per lane.

The cable typically comes in lengths ranging from 0.5 to 1 meters and may include locking clips or other features to ensure a secure connection. It is important to note that the cable is unidirectional, meaning it can only be connected in one direction, and that the SAS controller or motherboard must support SAS 3.0 or earlier standards.

Overall, the External Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to Internal Mini SAS 36 Pin SFF-8087 cable is a reliable and efficient way to connect external SAS devices to internal SAS controllers or motherboards, providing high-speed data transfer and compatibility with a wide range of SAS devices.

Specifications

• Cable length: The cable length can vary depending on the manufacturer and model, but it is typically between 0.5 to 1 meters.
• Connector type: The Mini SAS HD connector is a 36-pin connector with a pitch of 0.8mm, while the internal Mini SAS connector is a 36-pin connector with a pitch of 0.8mm.
• Data transfer rate: The cable supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps per lane for the Mini SAS HD connector and up to 6 Gbps per lane for the internal Mini SAS connector, which is the maximum speed for SAS 2.0.
• Compatibility: The cable is compatible with SAS controllers and SAS devices that use SAS 3.0 or earlier standards.
• Unidirectional: The cable is unidirectional, meaning it can only be connected in one direction. It is important to make sure that the Mini SAS HD connector is connected to the external SAS device and the internal Mini SAS connector is connected to the SAS controller or motherboard.
