Black and blue Mini SAS SFF-8088 male to four SATA female cable

ETopSell Mini SAS SFF-8088 Male to 4 SATA 7Pin Female Cable 1M

SKU CH-XS15-J2GXS

External Mini SAS SFF-8088 male to four SATA 7-pin female cable, 1 metre, supporting 3.0 Gbit/s SAS performance

  • Product colorBlack & Blue
  • Connects external SAS controller to four SATA drives using a single 26-pin SFF-8088 male plug
  • Delivers 3.0 Gbps throughput per lane for high-speed storage arrays
  • Backwards-compatible SAS interface works with existing SATA drives and backplanes
  • 1 metre length suits rack-to-rack or enclosure-to-controller runs
  • Colour-coded black and blue sheath for quick cable identification

Connection Type

This cable provides an external Mini SAS SFF-8088 male connector with a release ring on one end and four SATA 7-pin female connectors on the other. It links a SAS controller or host bus adapter directly to up to four SATA drives or a backplane. The 1 metre length suits typical server and workstation chassis layouts.

Intended Use

The assembly suits storage administrators and system builders who need to attach SATA drives to an external SAS port. It is not for installations that require an internal SFF-8088 connection, a different Mini SAS pin count, or direct attachment to native SAS drives without a compatible controller.

Data Rate

The cable is specified for 3.0 Gigabits per second per lane, matching the SAS 2.0 / SATA 3 Gbit/s signalling standard. Verify that both the controller port and the target drives operate at this speed to avoid a link-speed mismatch.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 3.0 Gbps link is active after connecting the SFF-8088 plug to my controller?

Check the controller BIOS or operating-system disk utility; each of the four SATA targets should appear at 3.0 Gbps with no errors reported.

What connectors and cables are included, and is anything else required?

The box contains one 1 metre cable with a 26-pin SFF-8088 male plug on one end and four SATA 7-pin female connectors on the other; no extra cables are needed for a direct drive connection.

Which length should I choose for a standard rack layout?

The 1 metre (3.3 ft) length suits typical rack-to-backplane runs; choose a longer cable only if the controller sits farther from the drive cage.
