What Makes This Cable Special 2-in-1 SFF-8482 Design Most SAS breakout cables end in standard SATA or SFF-8680 connectors. This cable uses SFF-8482 (29-position combo connectors) that support: SAS data signals (compatible with SAS HDD/SSD) Power delivery (integrated 12V / 5V power pins) Sideband signals (LED activity, drive presence) No backplane. No separate power adapter. Plug directly into your SAS drive.

Compatibility Host side: SAS HBA or RAID card with SFF-8643 ports
Drive side: SAS HDDs, SAS SSDs Does NOT work with SATA drives SFF-8482 connectors are physically compatible with SATA drives (you can plug them in), but this cable is wired for SAS signaling only. For SATA drives, please use SFF-8643 to SATA breakout cables. Important Notes Power pins are pass-through only your HBA/RAID card or backplane must supply power via the SFF-8643 host port, or drives will need separate power For SAS-3 12Gbps performance, keep cable length at 1m or less This is a passive direct-attach cable no active components
