CableCreation Mini SAS 36Pin SFF-8087 Male to 4 SATA 7Pin Female Cable 0.5M 1.6FT

SKU CH-4TV7-ANGHJ

Connects a Mini SAS 36-pin controller to four SATA drives over a 1.6 ft cable

  • Connects controller to four drives via SFF-8087 to SATA breakout
  • 6 ft length suits tight server chassis routing
  • 36-pin Mini SAS male plugs into host controller directly
  • Four SATA 7-pin females attach to backplane or HDDs
  • SAS interface enables high-throughput storage data transfer

Host-to-backplane cable

This 0.5 metre cable bridges a Mini SAS 36-pin SFF-8087 host port on a controller to four SATA 7-pin targets on a backplane or drive cage. It is built for administrators and integrators who need to connect multiple hard drives to a single SAS controller in servers or storage enclosures. The fixed length keeps internal routing tidy in compact chassis.

Straight-through pinout

The male SFF-8087 connector plugs directly into the controller without adapters, while the four SATA female ends accept standard drive cables or backplane headers. Each lane carries full SAS signalling so the link negotiates at the controller’s rated speed. No active electronics are present, so the assembly adds no latency or power draw.

Ready for drive arrays

Four SATA connectors let you populate a four-bay cage or backplane from one controller port, reducing the number of host slots required. The cable ships as a single unit with no extra brackets, software or documentation. It suits new builds or maintenance swaps where a short, direct Mini SAS to SATA breakout is specified.

Questions about this item

What speed does the SFF-8087 interface cap at in practice?

The SFF-8087 interface supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), a high-speed data storage interface designed for high-throughput and fast data access.

What physical space does the 0.5 m cable need to fit between controller and backplane?

The cable is 1.6 ft long and has a 36-pin SFF-8087 male connector on one end and four SATA 7-pin female connectors on the other.

How is the cable installed and which orientation step is often missed?

Connect the SFF-8087 male end to the controller or host port, then attach each SATA female end to a target drive or backplane; the SFF-8087 side is the host and the four SATA sides are targets.
