Internal-to-External SAS Bridge

This 50 cm cable converts an internal SFF-8087 36-pin male port to an external SFF-8088 26-pin female connector. It includes a low-profile bracket for secure mounting in a server or workstation chassis. The assembly targets administrators who need to link a SAS RAID controller or backplane to an external drive enclosure or JBOD.

SAS 2.1 12 Gb/s Limit

The link conforms to the SAS 2.1 high-density specification and is rated for 12 Gb/s per lane. Aggregate throughput depends on the controller and the number of active lanes; the cable itself does not exceed the 12 Gb/s ceiling defined by the standard. Shielded, shock-resistant construction helps maintain signal integrity across the 0.5 metre run.

Four-Lane Headroom

The 36-pin SFF-8087 side carries four differential pairs, so the cable comfortably handles four 12 Gb/s lanes when the host controller and backplane support them. It runs out of headroom if the system requires wider port configurations such as eight-lane or sixteen-lane aggregates, or if a future SAS generation demands signalling beyond 12 Gb/s.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 50 cm length or look for a longer Mini SAS cable?

The 50 cm length fits tidy server chassis runs; choose a longer cable only if your backplane sits farther from the controller.

What does the 12 Gb/s figure deliver inside a live server?

It provides a 12 Gb/s Mini SAS lane rate over the SFF-8087 to SFF-8088 link for SAS RAID controllers and backplanes.

How does the SFF-8087 to SFF-8088 interface limit real-world throughput?

The four-lane SFF-8087 male to SFF-8088 female connection is specified to the SAS 2.1 standard at 12 Gb/s per lane.
