Cable purpose and audience

This EN-Labs cable connects four SAS drives with SFF-8482 ports to a single SFF-8087 controller port. Each drive connector includes a SATA 15-pin power lead so data and power arrive together. The blue, shielded copper assembly measures 3.3 ft and is suited for server or workstation storage upgrades.

Verify controller and drive connectors

Confirm your RAID or HBA card presents an internal SFF-8087 36-pin mini SAS port. Each target drive must use the 29-pin SFF-8482 interface that combines SAS data and SATA power. The supplier notes compatibility with several IBM ServeRAID models and other non-IBM controllers sharing the same port.

Thermals noise and power

Passive copper conductors and shielding add no fan noise or active heat. Power for the four drives is drawn through the SATA 15-pin leads from your system power supply, so ensure that supply has enough free connectors and current capacity for the attached disks.

Questions about this item

Does the EN-Labs 12-001-004 cable include everything needed to connect four SAS drives, or must I buy separate power cables?

The package includes one 0.5m cable with a 36-pin SFF-8087 connector on the controller end and four 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors on the drive end. Each drive connector integrates a 15-pin SATA power plug, so no separate power cables are required.

The listing shows a 1m length in the title but 0.5m in the package details — which length will I receive?

The package contents specify a 0.5m (approximately 1.6 ft) cable. The 1m figure appears in the supplier title only; the measured length supplied is 0.5m.

What does the 6Gbps per channel rating mean when the cable is installed in a server with an SFF-8087 controller?

Each of the four SFF-8482 lanes supports up to 6Gbps, matching the SAS 2.0 link speed. The single 36-pin SFF-8087 connector carries all four lanes simultaneously, so each attached drive can operate at the full 6Gbps rate.
