Controller-to-Backplane Connectivity

This five-pack of Mini SAS 36Pin (SFF-8087) male to 4 SATA 7Pin female cables links a SAS controller or host bus adapter to four SATA hard drives or a backplane. Each 1.6 ft cable carries Serial Attached SCSI signals for high-throughput storage arrays, making the set suited to server builders and storage administrators expanding internal drive counts.

Five Cables for Multi-Drive Arrays

The pack supplies five identical assemblies, so a single controller with multiple Mini SAS ports can fan out to twenty SATA targets without buying separate cables. Having matched lengths keeps cable routing tidy inside chassis and reduces the chance of mixing cable generations during maintenance.

Straightforward Internal Routing

The 1.6 ft length reaches typical motherboard-to-backplane distances in 2U and 4U enclosures without excess slack. The SFF-8087 connector locks securely to the controller, while the four SATA 7Pin plugs seat firmly on drive backplanes; installers should verify port orientation before applying force to avoid bent pins.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8087 connector or SATA ends need periodic replacement?

The 36-pin Mini SAS and four SATA connectors are passive copper assemblies with no moving parts, so they do not wear out under normal insertions.

What is the maximum cable length before signal loss becomes an issue?

Each cable is 0.5 m (1.6 ft), keeping the SAS lane well within the SFF-8087 specification for reliable 6 Gbit/s operation.

Does the cable generate heat or draw extra power during all-day transfers?

The cable is unpowered and carries only differential signals, so it adds no heat and consumes no power beyond the controller and drives themselves.
