CableCreation Mini SAS SFF-8088 Male to 4 SATA 7Pin Female Cable 2.0m

SKU CH-WP03-EAEWJ

Connects an external Mini SAS SFF-8088 controller to four SATA drives with a 2.0 metre cable supporting 3.0 Gbps performance

  • Connects Mini SAS controller to four SATA drives
  • 26-pin SFF-8088 male with release ring for secure fit
  • Four 7-pin SATA female connectors support multiple drives
  • 0 Gbps SAS performance ensures high-throughput data access
  • 0 metre length suits rack and backplane layouts

Cable Purpose & Audience

This 2.0m cable adapts an external 26-pin SFF-8088 Mini SAS male connector to four 7-pin SATA female connectors. It suits technicians linking a Mini SAS controller or host bus adapter directly to four SATA drives or a backplane in storage enclosures.

Upgrade Context

The assembly replaces a direct Mini SAS-to-Mini SAS link when the target devices present native SATA ports instead. The jump is worth it when existing infrastructure uses SFF-8088 external ports but the drives or backplanes only accept standard SATA connectors.

Interface Limits

The SAS interface guarantees 3.0 Gigabits per second throughput and maintains backward compatibility with SATA. Cable length is fixed at 2.0m (6.6ft), so installations requiring longer runs between the controller and the drive cage will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 26-pin SFF-8088 male plug with release ring need at the controller port?

The external SFF-8088 male connector has a release ring that must be accessible; allow enough depth behind the controller bracket for the plug body and ring to seat fully without cable strain.

Which end connects to the host and which to the drives, and what is the common mistake?

The SFF-8088 male end plugs into the Mini SAS host or controller port; the four 7-pin SATA female ends attach to SATA target drives or backplane — reversing them is the typical error.

If a 7-pin SATA connector on this cable wears out, what replacement is required?

The cable is a fixed 2.0 m assembly with four SATA 7-pin females; any damaged connector means replacing the entire cable.
