Two SFF-8087 Mini SAS male connectors each fanning out to four SATA data plugs on thin braided cables .5m long

LSI

LSI SFF-8087 to 4 SATA breakout cable 0.5m

SKU CH-EFPM-K0VH5

Connects a 36-pin SFF-8087 SAS controller to four SATA drives at up to 6 Gb/s per drive using a 0.5 m braided cable

  • Connect up to four SATA drives via a single 36-pin Mini SAS 8087 port
  • 5 m length keeps internal cable routing tidy and unobstructed
  • Locking latch on the SFF-8087 connector prevents accidental disconnection
  • Supports up to 6 Gb/s per drive for fast storage throughput
  • Braided weave and thin cable design simplify cable management

SFF-8087 breakout cable for SAS controllers

This 0.5 metre cable splits a single Mini SAS 36-pin male connector into four SATA 7-pin data ports. It is built for administrators who connect a SAS HBA or RAID card directly to SATA hard drives or a compatible backplane. The assembly uses thin, braided wiring and a locking latch on the 8087 end.

Labelled connectors and locking latch simplify

Each SATA lead is marked so installers can trace cables quickly inside a crowded chassis. The latch on the Mini SAS plug prevents accidental disconnection during drive swaps or chassis vibration. A taped and braided sheath keeps the four runs tidy without adding bulk.

6 Gbit/s per drive ceiling and host-side-only design

The link tops out at 6 Gbit/s for each attached SATA device, matching the SATA 3.0 specification. The 8087 connector must plug into the controller side; attaching it to a backplane Mini SAS port will not function. Length is fixed at 0.5 metres, limiting reach in larger enclosures.

Questions about this item

Does the 36-pin SFF-8087 connector require any periodic maintenance or replacement?

No, the 36-pin SFF-8087 connector is a passive interface with no moving parts or consumable components, so it does not require scheduled maintenance or replacement under normal use.

What is the maximum sustained data rate each of the four SATA drives can reach through this breakout cable?

Each of the four SATA drives can transfer data at up to 6 Gb/s per drive, which is the practical limit that appears first during sustained read or write workloads.

How much extra heat or power does the cable add when it runs continuously in a server chassis?

The cable is completely passive and draws no power of its own, so it adds negligible heat and no additional power load even when operating all day.
