HPE 876805-B21 1U Rack-Mount 4-Meter SAS HD LTO Cable Kit

Overview

The HPE 876805-B21 is a factory-new SAS cable kit designed for connecting LTO tape drives in 1U rack-mount configurations. The 4-meter cable length gives you enough reach to route cleanly between a host bus adapter or SAS controller and an external or internal LTO tape unit without forcing tight bends — a common cause of intermittent SAS link errors in dense rack builds. If your tape backup infrastructure relies on SAS-attached LTO drives and you need a compliant, length-appropriate cable rather than improvising with a generic alternative, this kit is the direct replacement or spare to stock.

Compatibility

This cable kit is sourced directly from HPE and is intended for use with HPE LTO tape drive configurations in 1U rack-mount deployments. For confirmed compatibility with specific HPE ProLiant server generations, StorageWorks tape libraries, or SAS HBA models, cross-reference the HPE product QuickSpecs for your target platform using part number 876805-B21. HPE frequently pairs SAS HD cable kits like this one with LTO-7 and LTO-8 drives in rack-optimized deployments — verify your drive's SAS HD (Mini-SAS HD, SFF-8644/SFF-8643) connector type matches before ordering.
