HPE 691971-B21 Mini SAS HD to Mini SAS Cable
Overview
The HPE 691971-B21 is a 0.5-meter cable designed for high-speed data transfer between storage controllers and storage devices. It features a Mini SAS HD (SFF-8644) connector on one end and a standard Mini SAS (SFF-8088) connector on the other, enabling connectivity in server and storage arrays where these specific interfaces are present. This cable is critical for maintaining data integrity and performance in direct-attached storage (DAS) configurations.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered for use with HPE ProLiant servers and storage enclosures that utilize SFF-8644 external SAS connectors for controller interfaces and SFF-8088 external SAS connectors for backplane connections. It is suitable for connecting SAS controllers to SAS expanders or disk enclosures requiring this specific interface combination. Verify your server's controller ports and enclosure backplane connectors match SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 respectively.
Installation Notes
Ensure both the controller and the target device are powered down before connecting or disconnecting the cable. The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. The 0.5m length is ideal for internal chassis connections or short external runs where cable management is critical, minimizing signal degradation and clutter.
