Description
Introduction
The SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD to SFF-8470 Infiniband cable is a high-performance interconnect solution designed for data centers, enterprise storage, and high-speed networking applications. Featuring an external Mini SAS HD (SFF-8644) connector on one end and a legacy SFF-8470 Infiniband-style connector on the other, this cable ensures reliable connectivity between modern SAS 3.0/6G/12G equipment and older-generation Infiniband or SAS devices. Engineered for low latency and high bandwidth, it supports demanding workloads such as high-performance computing (HPC), large-scale data storage, and server-to-server communication. With durable construction and superior signal integrity, this cable provides a seamless bridge between new and legacy systems.
