External HD Mini SAS SFF-8644 to 4 SAS SFF-8482 29P with 4-Pin Power Cable

The External HD Mini SAS SFF-8644 to 4 SAS SFF-8482 29P with 4-Pin Power Cable is a high-performance breakout solution designed to connect external SAS hosts to multiple SAS or SATA drives with integrated power delivery. This cable converts a single External HD Mini SAS SFF-8644 port into four individual SAS SFF-8482 29-pin connections, while incorporating a 4-pin power connector to supply necessary power to the drives. It supports high-speed data transfer rates (up to 12Gb/s SAS-3) and is ideal for storage expansions, server upgrades, and data center applications requiring reliable external connectivity with simplified power and data management.
