External SAS Cable 1m 4-Lane

This one-metre EN-Labs cable carries four lanes of SAS traffic between two SFF-8088 ports. Each lane runs at 6 Gbps for a total of 24 Gbps. The 26-pin plugs feature a release ring that locks the connection and resists accidental disconnection. It is built for external controller-to-enclosure links in servers and workstations.

Suited for external storage arrays

Administrators wiring JBODs, tape libraries or SAN shelves to a RAID controller will find the length and latch useful. It is not for internal backplane cabling or any build that needs an internal mini-SAS connector. Buyers who need longer reach or a different pin count should look elsewhere.

Four-lane 6 Gbps per lane throughput

The aggregate 24 Gbps bandwidth is the figure that decides whether the cable matches the controller and enclosure spec. Verify that both ends use SFF-8088 and that the link speed requirement is 6 Gbps per lane before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.3 ft cable length limit where I can place my SAN storage relative to the server?

At 1.0 m the cable reaches adjacent racks or shelves but not distant cabinets; plan device placement within that distance.

What bandwidth ceiling appears first when the link runs continuously at 6 Gbps per lane?

The four-lane SFF-8088 interface caps sustained throughput at 24 Gbps total, so the bus itself is the first bottleneck.

Will the die-cast zinc connectors add noticeable heat or power draw during all-day operation?

The passive cable draws no power and generates no measurable heat; the zinc housings only improve durability and latch retention.
