Product Description

This Mini SAS HD to U.2 NVMe connector cable is designed for linking a backplane or HBA using an SFF-8643 interface to a 2.5" U.2 / SFF-8639 solid-state drive. High-speed twinax wire cable and precision-machined copper terminals provide controlled impedance and low insertion loss, allowing stable transmission of high-frequency differential signals for SAS or PCIe NVMe storage.

The entire assembly is wrapped with a rugged black braided sleeve that protects the electrical cable bundle against abrasion while keeping routing neat inside dense server and workstation chassis. Positive-latch connectors on both ends ensure secure mating with host and drive PCBs even under vibration, making this harness suitable for 24/7 data-center environments. OEM and ODM customization are supported, including special pin-outs, different cable lengths, custom labels, or integration with other power and data connectors in one harness for complex storage modules.

Applications 

Connecting U.2 NVMe SSDs to Mini SAS HD ports on RAID/HBA cards or motherboard headers

High-density enterprise server and storage arrays, JBOD and JBOF enclosures

PCIe-based all-flash systems and hybrid SAS/NVMe backplanes on industrial PCB designs

Workstations, edge-computing nodes and telecom equipment requiring compact, reliable storage interconnects

Custom storage appliances and OEM chassis where braided, low-profile cabling improves airflow and cable management
