Note: This cable is not compatible with SFF-8639 (U. 2) and SATA interfaces. 2) The SFF-8482 is a 29-pin plastic-shell connector, with 15 pins for power and two additional sets (7 pins each) for SAS data signals. 3) The cable is a UL2725 compliant 26AWG SATA cable (PVC sheath). 4) A common application of the SFF-8482 connector is SAS backplanes. Using this cable, internal SAS hard drives can be used as external hard drives.
5) Note: While SATA hard drives can be inserted into the SAS SFF-8482 connector (even when inserting a SATA hard drive into the SFF-8482 backplane, a SAS HBA card connection is required for operation), SAS hard drives cannot be inserted into the SATA interface.
