HPE Serial ATA / SAS Cable - Mini-sas Left Connector - Mini-sas Right Connector - P06307-B21

HPE P06307-B21 Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS Serial ATA / SAS Cable

Overview

The HPE P06307-B21 is a Serial ATA / SAS cable terminated with a Mini-SAS left-angle connector on one end and a Mini-SAS right-angle connector on the other. The angled terminations are a deliberate design choice — they reduce cable stress at the connector body and allow routing in tight chassis environments where a straight-exit connector would kink against adjacent hardware. If you are working in a dense HPE server or storage enclosure where cable management is constrained, the left/right offset geometry of the P06307-B21 keeps bend radius within spec and avoids blocking adjacent drive bays or PCIe slots.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use within HPE server and storage platforms that rely on Mini-SAS (SFF-8087 or SFF-8643 form factor) backplane and controller connections. Typical deployment targets include HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 tower and rack servers with SAS/SATA backplanes, HPE Smart Array controllers requiring internal Mini-SAS cabling, and HPE D-series direct-attach storage enclosures. Verify the specific connector pinout and SFF standard required by your backplane and controller before installation — Mini-SAS covers multiple physical variants (SFF-8087, SFF-8643, SFF-8644) and connector type must match both ends of your signal path. Use the HPE spare/option part number P06307-B21 to cross-reference compatibility in HPE's server configurator or QuickSpecs documentation for your specific platform.

Installation Notes

Route the cable before fully seating adjacent components — the angled connectors require clearance during insertion that may not be available once drives or riser cards are installed. Seat each Mini-SAS connector firmly until the latch clicks; a partially seated SAS cable is a common source of intermittent drive errors that are difficult to diagnose under load. Do not force a bend tighter than the cable's natural radius; SAS signal integrity degrades with excessive mechanical stress on the cable jacket.
