HPE 407339-B21 External Mini SAS 2m Cable

For HPE storage environments that require an external Mini-SAS connection, HPE 407339-B21 provides a 2-metre cable designed for enterprise SAS hardware. HPE documentation identifies it as an External Mini-SAS 2m Cable, and the part has been used for connections involving HPE Smart Array controllers and StorageWorks storage hardware. The cable uses SFF-8088 Mini-SAS connections at both ends, giving administrators a purpose-built external link rather than an internal chassis cable. Its 2-metre length is useful where connected equipment is installed within the same rack or nearby rack positions while still allowing practical cable routing.

Key Specifications

Connecting HPE SAS Storage Hardware

The 407339-B21 cable carries an external SAS connection between supported HPE hardware. HPE identifies the cable for use with Smart Array controller and storage configurations, including the Smart Array P800 Controller and StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 60. HPE MSA documentation also lists 407339-B21 as an External Mini-SAS 2m Cable, including as a longer cable option when connecting an MSA 2050 controller to a drive enclosure.

That external role separates it from SAS cables installed inside a server or enclosure. Both ends use the SFF-8088 Mini-SAS format, allowing the cable to connect compatible external SAS ports without an adapter between different connector families. In a rack, the 2-metre reach provides more routing flexibility than a short interconnect while remaining suitable for equipment positioned relatively close together.

Where HPE 407339-B21 Fits

407339-B21 belongs to an earlier generation of HPE external SAS connectivity and remains relevant where compatible HPE controllers, enclosures or storage systems continue to operate. HPE documentation associates the part with the Smart Array P800 and MSA 60, while HPE storage references also list it within SAS infrastructure for selected MSA configurations.

This makes the cable particularly useful for maintaining an existing installation where the hardware already uses the same SFF-8088 interface and HPE cable reference. For replacement work, the part number provides a precise identifier that can help distinguish the 2-metre 407339-B21 from other HPE external SAS cables offered in different lengths or with later Mini-SAS HD connector formats.

New and Refurbished HPE 407339-B21 Options

A New 407339-B21 cable is a suitable choice for new connections within compatible legacy HPE environments or for organisations that prefer unused spares in their hardware inventory. Keeping the correct cable available can also simplify future maintenance when storage equipment is expected to remain in service.

Refurbished units offer a practical alternative for organisations supporting established HPE infrastructure. Enterprise storage systems can remain operational for many years, and sourcing a matching refurbished cable can support those environments without requiring a change to the existing controller or enclosure solely because a cable needs replacement.

Useful Features for Existing HPE Storage Installations

• 2-metre cable length: provides useful reach for external SAS connections within rack-based storage environments.
• SFF-8088 at both ends: designed for equipment using the same external Mini-SAS connector standard.
• Documented HPE storage use: associated with Smart Array and StorageWorks hardware, including the P800 Controller and MSA 60.
• Clear HPE part reference: 407339-B21 makes it easier to source the same cable type when maintaining an existing configuration.

Other HPE Cables for Different Storage Generations

Not every HPE storage or tape platform uses the same cabling. The HPE 406596-001 SAS Cable, for example, is an internal cable for a StorageWorks 1U rack-mount tape enclosure and uses a different connector arrangement. For older SCSI tape equipment, the HPE 416706-001 10m SCSI cable provides VHDCI/VHDTS68-to-HD68 connectivity. These alternatives illustrate why the interface, installation type and HPE part number are useful references when selecting cabling for an established system.
