## Summary description

The BlueOptics BL464801GN3M30-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable featuring SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 connectors. It provides reliable data transmission with Male/Male connectors, ideal for high-speed networking applications.

## Long description

The BlueOptics BL464801GN3M30-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic hybrid cable with SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 male connectors. Designed for external SAS and high-speed networking links, this MiniSAS hybrid cable supports up to 6 Gbit/s transmission rates (backward compatible with 3 Gbit/s SAS) and is intended for short-distance, rack-to-rack and device-to-storage connections in data center and server environments.
Advantages
This 3 m MiniSAS hybrid cable combines a compact MiniSAS HD (SFF-8644) interface with an SFF-8088 external mini-SAS plug, reducing space requirements while providing high-density connectivity. As a passive twinax hybrid cable it uses no active components, which contributes to low latency, low power consumption and a reduced failure rate. The cable construction uses components from established manufacturers and is designed for long service life and stable availability.
Suitable for
 Connecting external SAS storage enclosures and hard drives to host controllers
 Linking servers, JBODs and SAN components in data center racks
 Short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks
 Environments requiring compact, high-density MiniSAS HD cabling
Key specifications
 Cable length: 3 m
 Connector A: SFF-8644 (36-pin external MiniSAS HD, male)
 Connector B: SFF-8088 (26-pin external MiniSAS x4, male)
 Transmission type: MiniSAS hybrid twinax (InfiniBand / fibre optic compatible usage scenarios)
 Supported protocols: 6 Gbit/s (supports 3 Gbit/s SAS and 6 Gbit/s SAS)
 Design: Passive cable (no active components)
 Typical use case: Short-range, high-speed data links in racks and data centers
How to use
Verify that both host and target hardware support passive SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 hybrid MiniSAS cables and the intended SAS protocol speeds. Align and insert the SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 male connectors into their corresponding female ports until they seat securely. Avoid forcing the connectors; check orientation markings if present. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid running it tightly alongside power lines to reduce interference and mechanical stress. After installation, verify link status and throughput in the host or storage controller software.
Usage recommendations
Use this cable for short-distance connections where low latency and compact, high-density cabling are priorities. Replace the cable if visible damage, bent pins, or intermittent link issues occur. For longer runs or when active signal conditioning is required, choose an appropriate active cable or fiber-optic solution.
