Mini-SAS HD Cables

The incredible growth of data in cloud and enterprise datacenters is driving the need for a higher performance storage interface to improve the ability of critical applications to access data. Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) cables meet this challenge, delivering the necessary performance to enable the full potential of PCI Express® 3.0-based systems and storage solutions.

Internal and external Mini-SAS HD cables are designed and built to meet the demanding 12Gb/s SAS-3 performance and density requirements. Available in 4 channel (4X) and 8 channel  (8X) configurations, Mini-SAS HD connectors (SFF-8644) double the port density of the original Mini-SAS connectors, while improving signal to noise ratio and reducing cross-talk.

Mini SAS HD cables are available in passive and active copper versions, as well as active optical for extended distance applications. A variety of alternate connector configurations are available, such as:

Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAS

Mini-SAS HD to QSFP

Mini-SAS HD to SATA x 4

Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAS HD x 4

Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAS x 4

Mini-SAS HD to SAS drive x 4

This broad range of cable options ensures backward-compatibility with all of the SATA and SAS devices currently on the market.
