Description
Connect one SlimSAS 8i port on an HBA/RAID card or motherboard to two Mini‑SAS HD (SFF‑8643) backplane ports. The cable uses oxygen‑free copper conductors, aluminum‑Mylar shielding and 100 Ω differential pairs to maintain SAS‑3 signal integrity. For internal chassis use only; not a protocol converter and not for PCIe/NVMe, OCuLink, SATA, or external SFF‑8644.
