Forward breakout SAS cable

This Vszerda cable connects a single Mini SAS SFF-8087 port on a RAID controller or server backplane to four SATA drives. The 0.8-metre length uses AWG30 twinaxial 8-pair wire with 100 Ohm impedance for 6 Gbps per channel. It is built for internal chassis wiring in storage enclosures and workstations.

Suits direct-attached SATA arrays

Builders expanding a hardware RAID card or HBA with up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs will find the pinout matches a standard forward breakout. The cable does not carry sideband signals, so it cannot serve backplanes that require SGPIO or I²C management links. Systems needing reverse breakout or external Mini SAS HD connectors must choose a different assembly.

SFF-8087 host connector decides fit

The 28-position SFF-8087 plug on the controller side is the only interface that guarantees compatibility with the target RAID card or HBA. Verify the host port is an internal SFF-8087 receptacle before ordering; other Mini SAS form factors will not mate.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose for a typical server chassis?

The cable is 0.8 metres (2.64 ft) long, suited to short internal runs between a controller card and drive bays.

What does the 6 Gbps rating mean for each connected drive?

Each of the four SATA channels can transfer up to 6 Gbps, matching the SATA III interface limit.

Is the SFF-8087 connector compatible with standard SAS controllers?

Yes, the SFF-8087 plug fits common internal SAS controller ports and breaks out to four SATA drive connectors.
