- Supports steady 6Gbps bandwidth for SATA HDDs, SSDs and RAID controllers
- Choice of .5, 1, 2 or 3 metre lengths fits internal or external server wiring
- Shielded construction reduces signal interference for longterm reliable data transmission
- Designed for enterprise servers, workstations, JBOD enclosures and storage arrays
Breakout Cable for SFF8088 Ports
This cable converts a single Mini SAS HD SFF8088 connector into four standard SATA 7pin interfaces. It targets administrators expanding drive counts on servers, workstations, RAID controllers or JBOD enclosures. The 1m length suits typical internal chassis routing. Shielded construction maintains signal integrity for long-term enterprise storage deployments.
Fits Directly Into Existing Backplanes
The SFF8088 end plugs into compatible host bus adapters, RAID cards or motherboard ports without adapters. Four SATA 7pin tails connect directly to SATA hard drives or solid-state drives. No extra power connectors or active components are required. The 6Gbps bandwidth matches the SATA III specification for each attached drive.
Handles Four Drives at Full SATA Speed
Each of the four branches delivers up to 6Gbps, so a full complement of SATA SSDs or HDDs runs at native throughput. The single upstream lane aggregates that traffic, so sustained writes to all drives simultaneously will saturate the link. Builders needing more than four drives or higher aggregate bandwidth must add additional host ports.

Questions about this item
Will the 1m length reach drives in a 4U chassis without signal loss at 6Gbps?
The 1m cable is rated for stable 6Gbps transfer; shielding reduces interference so the full length works inside typical server enclosures.
Does the shielded SFF8088 breakout run cool and quiet inside a server chassis under continuous load?
The cable is passive with no active components, so it generates no heat or noise regardless of how long it operates.
What controller port must the system already have to use the SFF8088 end?
A Mini SAS HD SFF8088 port on a RAID controller, HBA or motherboard is required to plug in this breakout cable.
