An Internal HD Mini SAS SFF-8643 to 4x SATA forward breakout cable connects a 12 Gbps SAS/SATA controller or RAID card with an SFF-8643 port to four separate SATA drives. It is used inside a server or workstation for direct drive connectivity.

This cable has 1 x 36-pin HD Mini-SAS SFF-8643 male connector on one end and 4 x 7-pin SATA female receptacles on the other end. The SATA ends are straight to right-angle style for easier internal cable routing.

Yes. It is a forward breakout cable, meaning it is designed to connect a host bus adapter or RAID controller with an SFF-8643 port to four SATA drives. It is not intended for reverse breakout applications.

The cable supports compatibility with 3 Gbps, 6 Gbps, and up to 12 Gbps storage environments, depending on the controller and connected devices. It helps support migration to higher-speed storage systems.

The available cable length is 0.5 to 1 meter, and it uses 30 AWG wire. This makes it suitable for short internal connections in storage servers, workstations, and RAID systems.
