Description

QNAP CAB-SAS10M-8644-8088 Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAS Cable

Overview

The CAB-SAS10M-8644-8088 is a 1-meter SAS interconnect cable that bridges an SFF-8644 (Mini-SAS HD) host port to an SFF-8088 (Mini-SAS) expander or enclosure port. The primary use case is connecting a QNAP NAS or JBOD expansion unit's SFF-8644 host controller interface to a downstream expansion shelf equipped with legacy SFF-8088 connectors — without adapters or additional hardware. If your storage stack mixes a newer controller on one end and an older enclosure interface on the other, this is the direct cable path that avoids signal conversion overhead.

Compatibility

Designed for QNAP storage expansion ecosystems. Compatible with QNAP JBOD expansion enclosures and NAS devices that expose an SFF-8644 host interface alongside expansion targets using SFF-8088 ports. Typical pairings include QNAP TL-series JBOD enclosures with SFF-8088 input ports connected to a QNAP NAS featuring an SFF-8644-equipped SAS expansion card. Verify your specific host and target connector types before ordering — SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 are not the same form factor and are not interchangeable with SFF-8470 or SFF-8087 mini-SAS variants.

Installation Notes

Route the 1-meter cable with adequate slack to avoid stress on the connector bodies — SAS connectors are keyed and latch, but repeated flex near the plug housing can degrade contact reliability over time. Seat both ends fully until the latch clicks; a partial connection on SFF-8088 is a common cause of intermittent drive dropouts. Do not exceed the 1-meter run for this cable; signal integrity is specified at this length and extending it with a coupler is not supported by the SAS specification for reliable multi-drive topologies.
