Internal SAS breakout cable

This cable connects a 36-pin SFF-8087 host port to four 29-pin SFF-8482 drive connectors with integrated Molex power. It suits builders wiring internal storage arrays or servers that use direct-attached SAS backplanes. The one metre length fits standard chassis routing without excess slack.

Capacity and headroom

Four drive endpoints share the single controller link so aggregate throughput depends on the host adapter and drive mix. Each SFF-8482 leg carries both data and power pins so no separate power cables are needed for the drives. The copper conductors and shielding maintain signal integrity over the full metre.

Thermals and power

Thinner SAS construction improves airflow compared with legacy parallel SCSI ribbons. No active components mean zero added heat or noise from the cable itself. Power for the drives is sourced through the four Molex 4-pin taps on the host side.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8087 end plug into my older HBA that uses the same 36-pin mini-SAS port?

Yes — the cable terminates in a standard 36-pin mini-SAS SFF-8087 connector, so it mates directly with any HBA or RAID controller that presents that same port.

How can I verify the four drive links are active once the cable is seated?

Each of the four SFF-8482 connectors carries both data and power; the host BIOS or OS disk utility will show all attached drives enumerated on their respective lanes.

Does the package include the Molex power leads for the four SFF-8482 plugs or must I source them separately?

The cable assembly already integrates four 4-pin Molex LP4 taps, one per SFF-8482 connector, so no extra power cables are required.
