BlueOptics CAB-SAS10M-8644-BL InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 1 m MiniSAS-HD stekker

The BlueOptics CAB-SAS10M-8644-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 m connection cable with MiniSAS-HD (SFF-8644) male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-density rack environments and enterprise storage systems, this cable provides a direct link between servers, controllers and SAS storage devices. It is suitable for short-distance, high-speed interconnects where MiniSAS-HD interfaces are required and is compatible with equipment that accepts SFF-8644 MiniSAS-HD connections.

Advantages

This MiniSAS-HD cable offers a compact connector design that reduces space requirements in rack-mounted systems while supporting high data throughput. As a passive twinax-style interconnect it relies on host and device transceivers for signaling, which keeps power consumption low. The cable supports established SAS protocols and is intended as a cost-effective, low-latency option for short-range data links in data centers and enterprise storage setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to SAS storage enclosures with MiniSAS-HD (SFF-8644) ports
• Interconnecting storage controllers and expansion units in rack environments
• High-density cabling runs between adjacent racks or within equipment racks
• Short-distance, high-speed data links in data center and enterprise deployments

Key specifications

• Connector type: MiniSAS-HD (SFF-8644) male to male
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Interface family: InfiniBand / SAS-compatible MiniSAS-HD
• Designed for short-range, high-speed interconnects in rack environments
• Passive twinax-style construction intended for low power consumption and low latency

How to use

Plug each MiniSAS-HD (SFF-8644) connector into the corresponding SFF-8644 port on the hardware to be connected, ensuring correct alignment and a secure seating. Use the cable for direct links between compatible SAS or InfiniBand-capable controllers, storage enclosures and servers. Route the cable within racks or between adjacent racks, avoiding tight bends and excessive strain on the connectors. Verify device compatibility and supported protocol speeds on the connected equipment before deployment.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m MiniSAS-HD cable for short, high-bandwidth connections in data centers. Keep bend radius reasonable, secure cables to reduce mechanical stress, and confirm that both ends are connected to SFF-8644 ports rated for the intended SAS/InfiniBand speeds.
