Product details
Description
The Cable Matters Internal HD Mini SAS SFF-8643 to 4 SATA Forward Breakout Cable is a crucial hardware component for expanding or migrating high performance data center network configurations. Designed specifically for professional server architectures and workstation storage setups, this data cable securely bridges a host density SAS Host Bus Adapter or hardware RAID controller directly to four discrete SATA hard drives.
It supports critical high speed storage requirements, handling data transfer rates up to 6 Gigabits per second per drive to maximize overall system bandwidth. The cable construction includes a low profile ribbon style design layered with an acetate cloth tape and a woven mesh sheath, optimizing airflow within tight computer enclosures.
To safeguard against unexpected data connection drops, each individual SATA terminal features durable stainless steel locking latches that click into place. Please note that this is a directional data routing cable configured exclusively from a controller host to target storage drives, and requires separate SATA power connections for full drive operation.
How to use
- Identify the SFF-8643 port on your host bus adapter or hardware RAID controller.
- Insert the single 36-pin HD Mini-SAS male connector into the host port until the latch clicks.
- Route the individual blue SATA breakout lines to your designated hard drive bays using the P2 and P3 markings for clean drive identification.
- Connect the 7-pin SATA female ends into your individual SATA hard drives until securely latched.
- Connect a separate, compatible multi-port SATA power splitter cable from your power supply unit to each hard drive to provide adequate operational power.

FAQs
Proper cable for Supermicro X11SSL-CF-O- SAS to Sata?
Yes, this cable is compatible if your motherboard or controller utilizes an internal SFF-8643 port and you are connecting to standard SATA drives. Because this is a forward breakout cable, it correctly paths data from the host controller out to the individual target storage drives.
Can this cable be used in reverse to connect a SATA motherboard port to a SAS backplane?
No, this is a strict forward breakout cable designed to run exclusively from a SAS controller host port to individual SATA hard drives. It will not function in reverse to connect a standard SATA motherboard port to a SAS storage backplane.
Does this cable supply power directly to the connected SATA hard drives?
No, this is a dedicated high speed data transmission cable only. You will need to use a separate four port SATA power splitter cable from your computer system power supply to provide operational power to each connected drive.
Is this Cable Matters storage cable an authentic USA import available for delivery within India?
Yes, this is an authentic, original Cable Matters product imported directly from the USA. Dropy India sources these specialized data storage components directly from authorized American suppliers to ensure full hardware authenticity for your server builds.
