SMUGDESK Mini SAS SFF8087 to SFF8088 Cable 28AWG 10 Ohm 1M

SKU CH-AKV0-ZV0G8

Connects internal SFF8087 to external SFF8088 with 28AWG copper and 10 Ohm impedance for 6Gbps SAS links

  • Connects internal SFF8087 to external SFF8088 for server-to-storage links
  • Delivers stable 6Gbps bandwidth for RAID arrays and JBOD systems
  • 28AWG copper with 10 Ohm impedance maintains signal integrity
  • 1M length fits mixed internal-external rackmount wiring
  • Server-grade shielding reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference

Internal-to-external server link

This cable bridges an internal Mini SAS SFF8087 port with an external Mini SAS HD SFF8088 connector, letting a server controller talk to an outside disk enclosure or JBOD. It is built for administrators expanding RAID arrays or adding bulk storage without opening the chassis.

Practical bandwidth ceiling

The assembly is rated for 6Gbps SAS signalling, so throughput tops out at that line rate regardless of the drives behind it. Longer runs or additional adapters would introduce extra loss, but the 1metre length keeps the signal within the specified window for typical rack layouts.

Shielded copper for dense racks

Pure 28AWG copper conductors held to a tight 10Ohm impedance and wrapped in servergrade shielding resist crosstalk and EMI in crowded cabinets. The hybrid plug pair locks securely on both ends, so routine vibration or cable-management shifts do not unseat the link during daily operation.

Questions about this item

Which cable version should I choose for connecting an internal SFF8087 controller to an external SFF8088 enclosure?

This cable is built specifically for that crossform connection, with an internal SFF8087 plug on one end and an external SFF8088 connector on the other.

What does the 6Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in a server?

It delivers a stable 6Gbps SAS signal across the 1meter link, supporting RAID arrays and JBOD storage without signal degradation.

How does the SAS interface and 10Ohm impedance affect realworld performance?

The controlled 10Ohm impedance on 28AWG copper maintains signal integrity, capping loss and crosstalk so the SAS link runs reliably at its rated speed.
