Internal SAS Breakout Cable

This 3.3 ft cable connects a Mini SAS SFF-8087 36-pin male port on a host bus adapter or RAID controller to four SFF-8482 29-pin female drive connectors. It is built for server and workstation builders who need to attach multiple SAS or SATA drives through a single controller port. The assembly includes four 4-pin power leads so each drive receives power from the same cable run.

Braided Sheath and Power Leads

A braided mesh sheath covers the slender ribbon cable to reduce airflow restriction inside dense chassis. Four integrated SATA power connectors eliminate the need for separate power cables from the PSU to each drive, simplifying cable routing in hot-swap bays or direct-attached backplanes. The 30AWG tinned copper conductors are specified for 100 ohm impedance to maintain signal quality at 6.0 Gbps.

6.0 Gbps SAS 3.0 Interface

The cable is rated for SAS 3.0 speeds up to 6.0 Gbps per lane across all four channels. It will not support 12 Gbps SAS 4.0 controllers or drives that require the higher signalling rate. Buyers deploying 12 Gbps infrastructure should select a cable explicitly rated for that speed.

Questions about this item

Will the 30 AWG tinned copper conductors or the 100 ohm impedance degrade after continuous 6.0 Gbps operation?

The 30 AWG tinned copper conductors and 100 ohm impedance are rated for continuous 6.0 Gbps SAS 3.0 operation and do not require scheduled replacement.

What limit appears first when four drives pull sustained 6.0 Gbps through the single SFF-8087 36-pin host link?

The single SFF-8087 36-pin host link aggregates four 6.0 Gbps lanes, so the host controller bandwidth becomes the first bottleneck before the cable itself.

Does the braided mesh sheath on the 3.3 ft ribbon cable trap heat or add fan noise during all-day server use?

The slender ribbon cable inside the braided mesh sheath minimises airflow restriction, adding no measurable heat or fan noise in typical server chassis.
