Connection layout

This cable splits a single Mini-SAS SFF-8087 36-pin male host connector into four SFF-8482 target connectors. Each target end includes a SATA 7-pin data and 15-pin power adapter so drives receive both signal and power from one assembly. It is built for installers connecting a RAID controller or HBA to multiple SAS or SATA hard drives.

Interface limits

The assembly is rated for 6 gigabits per second per drive, matching the SAS 3.0 / SATA 6 Gbps signalling ceiling. Length is fixed at 0.5 metre (1.6 ft) using 30 AWG conductors, so cable loss stays within spec for internal chassis routing. No active electronics are present; the link relies entirely on the host controller and drive PHYs to maintain signal integrity.

Deciding specification

The SFF-8087 host plug must attach to the controller or motherboard side, never to a backplane, otherwise the breakout will not function. Each SFF-8482 leg requires a separate SATA power feed from the PSU to operate. Buyers who need a backplane-to-backplane link or a cable without the integrated power adapters should choose a different harness.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 0.5 m or 1 m version for my build?

The 0.5 m cable suits tight server chassis; the 1 m option gives more routing slack in larger cases.

What does the 6 Gbps per drive rating mean once installed?

Each connected SATA or SAS drive can transfer data at up to 6 Gbps, limited by the drive and controller capabilities.

How does the SFF-8087 to SFF-8482 interface affect compatibility?

The SFF-8087 host plugs into a RAID HBA or motherboard; the four SFF-8482 targets each carry SATA 7-pin data plus 15-pin power for drives.
