QNAP CAB-PCIE10M-8644-8X PCIe JBOD Special Cable
Overview
The CAB-PCIE10M-8644-8X is a 1.0 m PCIe JBOD special cable from QNAP, purpose-built to connect compatible QNAP PCIe expansion enclosures to their host PCIe adapter card. With SFF-8644 8X connectors on both ends, it carries the full-width PCIe signal path needed for high-throughput storage expansion — the kind of bandwidth headroom that matters when you're adding dense drive shelves to a production NAS. This is not a generic SAS cable; it is a proprietary-specification cable engineered specifically for the QNAP expansion line and should only be used in that context.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with a narrow, specific set of QNAP hardware — do not assume broader SFF-8644 interoperability. Verified compatible pairings:
- TL-Rx00PES-RP series: QNAP rackmount PCIe JBOD expansion enclosures (the TL-R1200PES-RP and related models in this family) — connect directly to the host card for raw PCIe storage expansion without SAS overhead.
- QXP-3X8PES: QNAP's PCIe-to-SFF-8644 host bus adapter card installed in the NAS host — this is the required host-side component for the cable to function. Without the QXP-3X8PES (or a confirmed compatible QXP variant), this cable has no use in your rack.
If you are connecting a NAS expansion unit using a standard Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644 4X) interface, see the CAB-PCIE10M-8644-4X instead — that variant uses 4X connectors and is priced and rated differently. Confirm your enclosure's connector width before ordering.
Installation Notes
Cable length is fixed at 1.0 m — plan rack layout so the JBOD enclosure and host NAS are within one rack unit of each other or in adjacent units. The SFF-8644 8X connector is physically keyed and latched; seat it fully until the latch clicks on both ends before powering the system. Do not route this cable through tight bends or over sharp chassis edges — PCIe signal integrity is sensitive to mechanical stress at this bandwidth. For longer runs or alternate configurations, consult QNAP's compatibility documentation for your specific TL-R series model.
