IBM 00FK846 Dual Mini-SAS HD 950/905mm Internal Cable
The IBM 00FK846 is a dual Mini-SAS HD internal cable designed for chassis-level SAS connectivity where correct connector type and cable length matter. It uses dual Mini-SAS HD connectors and a specified 950/905mm length, making it suitable for internal routing between backplanes, controllers, and expander/drive assemblies in supported platforms.
For IBM infrastructure builds and break/fix maintenance, this cable helps restore or maintain consistent internal signal paths without changing the wider configuration. It is typically used in selected IBM server and storage environments where Mini-SAS HD internal cabling is required, and it may be deployed alongside components such as NETWORK ADAPTER, NETWORK MODULE, and a rack or ToR SWITCH depending on how the overall environment is connected and expanded.
Key Features
Key technical characteristics to help you match the cable to the correct IBM hardware configuration:
- Dual Mini-SAS HD internal connectors to support high-density SAS interconnects between controllers, backplanes, or expanders.
- Specified 950/905mm cable length to fit supported chassis routing paths and reduce strain on internal connectors.
- IBM part number 00FK846 identification to align with BOMs, spares lists, and maintenance documentation.
- Compatibility with selected IBM server and storage platforms using Mini-SAS HD internal cabling, for example IBM System x and IBM Storwize families where Mini-SAS HD cabling is used between controller/backplane components.
- Internal chassis design intent to support clean cable management and predictable airflow paths in rack deployments.
- Mini-SAS HD connector format to maximise port density for SAS backplane and controller interconnects.
- Suitable replacement part for break/fix scenarios to restore internal SAS connectivity in supported IBM systems.
- Enterprise-oriented build intent to support 24/7 operation in data center and server room environments.
