Description
Introduction
An external Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to 2 x Mini SAS SFF-8088 cable is a type of cable used to connect an external SAS storage enclosure to a SAS controller. The cable has one external Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 connector on one end and two external Mini SAS SFF-8088 connectors on the other end.
The external Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 connector is a small form factor connector with 36 pins that supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps per lane. The external Mini SAS SFF-8088 connector is also a small form factor connector with 26 pins that supports data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps per lane.
The cable is typically used to connect an external SAS storage enclosure to a SAS controller in a server or storage system. The external Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 connector is plugged into the storage enclosure, while the two external Mini SAS SFF-8088 connectors are plugged into the SAS controller.
This type of cable provides a simple and efficient way to manage external SAS storage devices and allows for fast data transfer rates between the storage devices and the SAS controller. The two Mini SAS SFF-8088 connectors provide a redundant connection between the storage enclosure and the controller, which helps to ensure data availability and reliability in case one connection fails.
