Short blue external Mini SAS SFF-8088 cable with matching connectors at both ends

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK External Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable .5m 6Gbps

SKU CH-E1M7-G2R2B

A .5 metre external Mini SAS cable with SFF-8088 male connectors on both ends, rated for 6Gbps transfer and built with 30AWG copper and 100-Ohm impedance for reliable server and RAID array links

  • 6Gbps SAS 2.0 bandwidth for high-volume server storage transfers
  • SFF-8088 male-to-male connectors enable direct RAID and enclosure links
  • 100-Ohm controlled impedance with 26-pin design maintains signal integrity
  • 30AWG oxygen-free copper conductors reduce attenuation and resist oxidation
  • 5m length keeps cabinet routing tidy without excess slack

SFF-8088 External SAS Cable 0.5 m

This new SMUGDESK cable provides a direct SFF-8088 male-to-male link for external SAS devices. It supports 6 Gbps transfer rates under the SAS 2.0 specification. The 0.5 metre length suits tight server cabinets and short rack runs.

Suited for RAID and JBOD expansion.

Builders connecting RAID controllers to external disk enclosures or storage arrays will find the connector match and signal integrity they need. The design targets enterprise storage expansion rather than internal drive backplanes or legacy SCSI equipment.

100-Ohm controlled impedance on 26-pin SFF-8088

The cable uses a 100-Ohm differential impedance structure across its 26-pin connectors to minimise attenuation and crosstalk. This specification determines whether the link remains error-free under sustained 6 Gbps loads in your rack.

Questions about this item

What connectors and cable length are included, and is any adapter required?

The cable has SFF-8088 male connectors on both ends and measures 0.5 metre (1.64 ft). No separate adapter is needed for a direct Mini SAS link.

Which SAS speed does this cable support?

It is built to the SAS 2.0 specification and handles up to 6Gbps data transfer.

How does the 100-Ohm impedance and 30AWG copper affect real-world reliability?

The controlled 100-Ohm differential impedance plus 30AWG oxygen-free copper cores reduce signal loss and crosstalk, keeping RAID and storage array transfers stable under heavy load.
