Description
Introduction
This cable allows you to connect up to four SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives to a SAS controller or HBA (Host Bus Adapter) using a single cable. The cable features an Internal Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 connector on one end and four SAS29 connectors and a Molex power connector on the other end. The SFF-8643 connector is a high-density connector that supports up to four SAS lanes and provides data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps per lane. This makes it ideal for high-performance storage systems that require fast data transfer rates. The four SAS29 connectors on the cable provide connections for up to four SAS drives. The SAS29 connector is a smaller version of the standard SAS connector and supports data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps. The Molex power connector on the cable is used to provide power to the SAS drives, eliminating the need for separate power cables. The Internal Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to 4 x SAS29 + Molex Power Cable is typically used in servers and storage systems that require high-speed and high-capacity storage. It is designed to be durable and reliable, with a rugged construction that can withstand the rigors of daily use. The length of the cable may vary depending on the manufacturer and model, but it is usually between 0.5 and 2 meters. It is important to ensure that the cable is compatible with both the SAS controller or HBA and the SAS drives being used in the system.
Overall, the Internal Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to 4 x SAS29 + Molex Power Cable is a useful and versatile tool for anyone who needs to connect multiple SAS drives to a SAS controller or HBA in a high-performance computing environment.
