SAS-kaapeli Western Digital 1EX1531 Mini SAS HD SFF-8643, 2 m pituus

SAS cable Western Digital 1EX1531 Mini SAS HD SFF-8643, 2 m length provides a shielded, direct connection between SAS-compatible storage devices and host controllers. This 2-meter Mini SAS HD cable uses the SFF-8643 connector standard to carry high-speed serial attached SCSI signals for internal server, NAS, and rack-mounted storage systems. It is intended for point-to-point links in enterprise and data center environments where reliable, low-interference data transmission is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 connector designed for high-density environments, combined with full shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. Its 2 m length balances reach and routing simplicity for internal cabling in server racks. Using a standard SAS interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of SAS host adapters, RAID controllers and drive enclosures that accept Mini SAS HD connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS drives or drive enclosures to SAS host adapters or RAID controllers in servers
• Internal cabling for NAS units and storage arrays in data centers
• Replacing or extending existing Mini SAS HD connections in rack-mounted systems

Key specifications

• Connector type: Mini SAS HD SFF-8643
• Cable length: 2 m
