DELL 470-ABDR Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cable 2 m 12 Gbit/s Black, Metallic

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, this is one of those “boring but important” purchases. A Dell-branded 2m SAS cable is exactly what you want when you’re repairing or standardising an older Dell storage/server setup—especially if the rest of your kit is already Dell and you want fewer headaches around compatibility, seating, and connector fit. If you’re in the UK reselling or supporting infrastructure where uptime matters, £77.69 ex-VAT for a proper 12G SAS link is reasonable; the cost of “trying a cheaper cable” that doesn’t behave is usually higher than the price difference.

I wouldn’t buy it if you’re building something new, mixing vendors, or you’re not 100% sure you need SAS over a 12G-rated run length. Cables like this are very specific to the ecosystem and the exact device/interface—there’s no bonus value in owning the “right looking” cable if it’s the wrong type. It’s best suited to service/maintenance teams, datacentre techs, and IT admins keeping Dell storage arrays or servers running rather than anyone shopping for a general-purpose workaround.
