SFF-8644 na SFF-8644 2m SAS kabel CBO ACK-E-HDMSAS-HDMSAS-2M-BL, 2 m, samec-samec

This CBO ACK-E-HDMSAS-HDMSAS-2M-BL is a 2 m Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) data cable with SFF-8644 male connectors on both ends. It is designed to provide a direct, low-latency, high-reliability link between SAS controllers, expanders and storage enclosures in enterprise environments. The cable's fixed two-metre length and male-to-male SFF-8644 terminations make it suitable for short point-to-point connections inside racks, between external JBOD units and SAS host adapters or for interconnecting SAN hardware where a compact, robust SAS connection is required.

Advantages

The cable delivers a standardized SFF-8644 interface for compatibility with modern SAS controllers and expanders, ensuring consistent signal integrity for data transfer. Its 2 m length balances reach and cable management in rack installations, reducing the need for additional adapters or couplers. The male-to-male configuration simplifies direct connections between devices without requiring gender changers. The construction is intended for reliable mechanical mating and stable electrical contact to support continuous server and storage operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS host bus adapters to external storage enclosures
• Linking rack-mounted servers to JBOD or SAN expanders
• Short point-to-point SAS links inside server cabinets
• Replacing or installing fixed-length interconnects in enterprise storage arrays

Key specifications

How to use

Power down equipment or follow hot-swap procedures as required by your hardware before inserting or removing SAS cables. Align each SFF-8644 male connector with the corresponding female port on the SAS controller, expander or enclosure and press until the connector seats securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension; maintain gentle bend radii consistent with server rack cable management. Verify link status through the host adapter or storage enclosure LEDs and system management tools after connection.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable for short, secure SAS links where fixed length and reliable mechanical fit are required. Avoid excessive bending or crush forces, and ensure connectors remain free of dust and debris. Follow manufacturer guidelines for hot-plug operations and verify compatibility with your SAS controller and storage enclosure models prior to installation.
