Connection Breakout

This BUCIER cable splits a single SFF-8087 Mini-SAS port into four SATA connectors. It links a host controller or RAID card directly to up to four hard drives or solid-state drives. The 3.3ft length suits typical server or workstation chassis routing. Professionals expanding internal storage use this forward breakout to add drive bays without extra controllers.

Controller Upgrade Path

The cable replaces a direct backplane link when the backplane lacks an SFF-8087 input. It is worth fitting when a RAID card or HBA exposes only Mini-SAS ports but the target drives use standard SATA interfaces. Do not connect the SFF-8087 end to a backplane; the pinout is host-to-target only. Each SATA lane runs at 6 gigabits per second.

Installation Notes

The 30 AWG conductors are thin and flexible, easing routing in tight bays. Both the 36-pin Mini-SAS plug and the four 7-pin SATA plugs carry locking latches for secure seating. A common error is reversing host and target ends; the SFF-8087 side must attach to the controller. Labels on each SATA tail help match drives to ports during assembly.

Questions about this item

What connector and pin count does the host end of this cable use?

The host end uses an internal SFF-8087 36-pin male connector with a locking latch.

How do you attach the cable to the controller and drives, and what is the common mistake?

Plug the SFF-8087 male end into the HBA or RAID controller and the four SATA 7-pin female ends into the drives; do not connect the SFF-8087 side to a backplane.

What maintenance might the locking latches on this cable need over time?

The locking latches on both the SFF-8087 and SATA connectors can loosen with repeated mating cycles; reseat or replace the cable if a latch no longer holds firmly.
