TeKit Mini SAS SFF-8087 to 4× SFF-8482 with SATA Power Cable 3.3ft

SKU CH-1SM0-1MBGW

Connects four SAS drives to one Mini SAS controller with integrated SATA power over 3.3 ft

  • Cable length3.3 ft (1.01 m)
  • Connector count5
  • Connector detailsInternal 36 Pin Mini SAS SFF-8087 Host to 4 SFF-8482 Target
  • Conductor typeCopper Conductor
  • Product typeInternal 36 Pin Mini SAS SFF-8087 Host to 4 SFF-8482 Target
  • Product colorBlack
  • Connect four SAS drives through one controller port with the 36-pin SFF-8087 host connector
  • Each target link delivers up to 6 Gbps throughput via four SFF-8482 connectors
  • Integrated 15-pin SATA power on every drive leg removes the need for separate power cables
  • Shielded copper conductors protect signal integrity across the 3.3 ft length
  • Single-cable design reduces internal clutter and simplifies drive installation

Connection layout

This internal cable links one 36-pin SFF-8087 Mini SAS host port to four SFF-8482 drive connectors, each carrying a 15-pin SATA power feed. It suits builders adding multiple SAS drives to a single controller slot without running separate power leads. The 3.3 ft length fits typical chassis routing while keeping the cable count low.

Signal integrity

Copper conductors and full shielding protect the 6 Gbps per channel data path from electromagnetic interference inside a busy server or workstation. Passive construction means no active components draw extra current or generate heat, so the assembly adds negligible thermal load to the enclosure. Power delivery travels alongside data on each SFF-8482 branch for tidy cable management.

Sustained operation

Under continuous drive activity the shielded pairs maintain signal quality without the degradation sometimes seen on unshielded ribbons during long rebuilds or backups. The fixed 3.3 ft reach limits placement flexibility in larger rackmount cases, so installers should verify controller-to-bay distances before ordering. Buyers needing more than four drives per controller or a different connector keying will require a separate cable assembly.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Mini SAS SFF-8087 to 4× SFF-8482 cable, and which step do people often get wrong?

Plug the 36-pin SFF-8087 end into the host controller and each SFF-8482 connector into a SAS drive; the step often missed is attaching the 15-pin SATA power plug on every SFF-8482 branch so the drives actually spin up.

What maintenance or replacement will this cable need later?

The copper conductors and shielding are passive, so no scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cable only if a connector latch breaks, pins bend, or signal errors appear after re-seating both ends.

What limit shows up first under sustained use?

Each of the four channels is rated for 6 Gbps throughput, so the aggregate bandwidth ceiling of the single SFF-8087 link is the first limit you will hit when all drives run continuously.
