InLine SAS HD low-profile adapterhouder ext. SFF-8088 / int. SFF-8643 0,75 m

This InLine SAS HD low profile adapter bracket provides a passive PCB adapter with an external 26-pin Mini SAS connector (SFF-8088) and an internal 36-pin Mini SAS connector (SFF-8643) on a 0.75 m cable. The bracket is made for installation in low-profile slots and supports bidirectional connection between external and internal SAS interfaces, enabling compact storage and server setups.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact low-profile design suitable for tight chassis, a passive PCB construction that requires no power, and a 0.75 m cable length for flexible routing. It supports standard Mini SAS SFF-8088 and SFF-8643 interfaces for compatibility with a range of external enclosures, server blades and storage devices.

How to use

Install the adapter bracket into a low-profile expansion slot in the chassis, secure it according to the case manufacturer’s instructions, and route the 0.75 m cable to the internal SFF-8643 host connector. Connect an external SFF-8088 cable to the outside port to attach external enclosures or devices. The adapter works in both directions—verify connector orientation before mating and ensure devices are powered and recognized by the host.

Recommendations

Use standard Mini SAS cables and ensure proper handling to avoid bending the cable near the connectors. Verify compatibility between host controller and external enclosure SAS versions and follow ESD precautions during installation.
