IBM - 01DC675 - 0.6M 12GB SAS Cable MSAS HD

IBM 01DC675 0.6M 12Gb SAS Cable (MSAS HD)

The IBM 01DC675 is a 0.6 metre internal 12Gb SAS cable with MSAS HD (Mini-SAS HD) connectivity, built for short-run, high-speed SAS interconnects inside enterprise server and storage chassis. It is typically used to connect a SAS HBA or RAID controller Mini-SAS HD port to a drive backplane or expander, where secure latching and signal integrity are important for reliable multi-drive operation.

This cable is a practical spare for maintenance work and planned upgrades in IBM platforms, helping you restore correct SAS routing after controller, backplane, or drive-cage replacements. For broader IBM infrastructure sourcing, Direct Hardware Supply also stocks refurbished NETWORK ADAPTER components and related NETWORK MODULE options for server connectivity builds.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment-relevant features for IBM 01DC675 in enterprise environments:

• 0.6 metre cable length to support tidy internal chassis routing between controller and backplane connections.
• 12Gb SAS signalling support to maintain high-speed SAS connectivity in compatible server and storage configurations.
• MSAS HD (Mini-SAS HD) connector format to interface with Mini-SAS HD ports commonly found on SAS HBAs, RAID controllers, and backplanes.
• Compatible with IBM System x and IBM/Lenovo ThinkSystem server families that use Mini-SAS HD internal cabling, for example select x3550/x3650 generations and ThinkSystem SR-series configurations (model-dependent).
• Suitable for IBM storage and expansion platforms using Mini-SAS HD internal links, for example certain Storwize/FlashSystem enclosure or controller-to-backplane cabling scenarios (configuration-dependent).
• Internal SAS interconnect role to connect SAS controllers to drive backplanes/expanders for stable multi-drive connectivity.
• Secure, datacenter-oriented connector design to reduce the risk of accidental disconnects during maintenance windows.
• Designed for 24/7 enterprise operation to support continuous workloads in data centers and server rooms.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Choosing refurbished cabling is a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing environments, reduce electronic waste, and control budget compared to buying new—especially when you need exact part numbers for service spares.

All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (three months for batteries, tape drives and tape libraries), with extended warranty options available on request. For complete IBM estates, you can also source additional refurbished SWITCH hardware and other components, with worldwide shipping from Denmark.
