K2R09A is the HPE StoreEver Mini-SAS High Density to 4-lane Mini-SAS External Fanout 2m Cable, a 2 m (6.5 ft) external SAS cable that splits one Mini-SAS HD connection into four Mini-SAS connectors. One cable can connect up to four tape drives, apart from LTO-9 drives, and it links HPE MSL SAS tape libraries to storage host bus adapters that have Mini SAS High Density (SFF8644) ports.
The 4 m version of the fanout cable is K2R10A. The straight 4.0 m external Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS cable 716193-B21 works differently: one such cable is required for every tape drive other than LTO-9.
K2R09A is a connection option for the HPE StoreEver MSL3040 tape library (for example the Q6Q62C base module), the MSL6480 tape library and the MSL entry-level tape automation family. It is also an option in the tape backup options of the ProLiant ML350 Gen9, ML350 Gen10, ML350 Gen11 and ML30 Gen10 Plus servers.
The spare numbers are 805150-001 and 814228-001, both described as a Mini SAS 1-to-4 Mini SAS 2 m (6.5 ft) external SAS cable.
More tape and SAS accessories are in HPE cables, kits and other parts.
