HPE - 408908-001 - HP Ext. SAS to Mini Cable .5m

Product Overview

The HPE 408908-001 is an HP/HPE external SAS to mini cable with a 0.5m length, designed for short-run connectivity where clean cable management and reliable SAS signal integrity are required. It is typically used to interconnect external SAS ports on storage or server I/O options to mini-SAS style interfaces in compact rack deployments.

This cable is a practical choice for data centers and server rooms where external SAS cabling is needed between storage expansion, controllers, and host connectivity. It is commonly deployed alongside related infrastructure components such as NETWORK ADAPTER and NETWORK MODULE when building out or maintaining HP/HPE environments.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics and typical deployment benefits for this 0.5m external SAS cable include:

• 0.5m cable length to support short, tidy interconnects inside racks and between adjacent devices.
• External SAS to mini-SAS style connectivity to bridge common SAS interface types used in HP/HPE storage ecosystems.
• HP/HPE spare part number 408908-001 to help match the correct cable to existing bill-of-materials and maintenance requirements.
• Designed for external SAS connectivity to support storage expansion and controller-to-enclosure cabling scenarios.
• Compatible with HP/HPE ProLiant server families and HPE storage/expansion solutions that use external SAS ports, for example ProLiant DL/ML series configurations with external SAS HBAs/controllers.
• Suitable for use with HP/HPE SAS controllers and external storage enclosures (model-dependent) to maintain consistent cabling standards in mixed environments.
• Short-run form factor to reduce excess slack and improve airflow compared to longer cables in dense racks.
• Enterprise-oriented cabling component for 24/7 infrastructure environments where stable connectivity is required.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished cabling is a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing HP/HPE installations, support maintenance stock, and control budget compared to buying new—while also helping reduce electronic waste.

All products from Direct Hardware Supply include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware, shipping worldwide from Denmark; for related infrastructure, consider integrating with an HPE SWITCH and other HPE components to complete your deployment.
