External-to-Internal SAS Link

This Vszerda cable bridges an external SFF-8088 26-pin Mini SAS port to an internal SFF-8087 36-pin Mini SAS port. It suits administrators connecting external JBOD enclosures or tape libraries directly to an internal RAID controller or HBA. The 3.3-foot length fits typical rack-to-server runs without excess slack.

Build Integration

The cable carries SAS 2.0 signalling at 6 Gbps and works with SAS or SATA storage systems and drive bays. One end presents a 26-pin male SFF-8088 connector with an upgraded press button for easier insertion; the other end provides a 36-pin male SFF-8087 connector with a locking latch for secure internal mounting. No active electronics or additional power are required.

Thermals Noise Power

As a passive copper assembly the cable generates no heat and produces no audible noise. It draws no power beyond the signalling lines supplied by the host controller. The 30 AWG conductors are shielded for reliable data transfer across the 1-metre span.

Questions about this item

How long is the cable before signal loss becomes a problem at 6 Gbps?

The cable is 1 m (3.3 ft) long and built to the SAS 2.0 specification for 6 Gbps operation.

Does the cable get hot or draw extra power when running all day?

It is a passive copper cable with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power beyond the signal itself.

What ports must my chassis and controller already have for this cable to plug in?

You need an external SFF-8088 26-pin port on one side and an internal SFF-8087 36-pin port on the other.
