Detailed Specifications
HP 716197-B21 - External Mini-SAS HD 4× to Mini-SAS HD 4× Cable
Overview :
This cable is a 2.0 metre external data-link solution targeted at storage and server engineers who need a robust high-density SAS connection between devices. It provides Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) 4× on both ends, enabling four simultaneous SAS lanes in one connector for efficient array connectivity and reduced cable clutter. The 2.0 m (≈6 ft) length suits rack-based deployments where length flexibility is required between server enclosures, JBODs or SAN systems within a data centre environment. It fits in enterprise storage arrays, server bays, or external expansion enclosures and integrates directly with compatible HPE solutions. The cable is engineered for IT infrastructure applications where reliable high-speed connectivity and standardised SAS external interfaces are required rather than generic host-to-drive links.
Key Features :
4-lane Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) male-to-male interface
External 2.0 m (≈6 ft) length for rack deployments
Supports SAS high-density 4× lanes in a single cable link
Compatible with HPE external storage and server enclosures
Male connectors on both ends reduce adapter requirements
