External to Internal SAS Link

This two-pack provides Mini SAS cables that bridge an external SFF-8088 26-pin port to an internal SFF-8087 36-pin port. Each assembly measures 3.3 feet and uses 30AWG conductors. The design targets server, workstation and storage-system builders who need to connect external enclosures to internal controllers.

Passive Cable Thermals

As a passive copper assembly the cable adds no active cooling requirement and generates no audible noise. Power draw is limited to the signal current defined by the SAS 2.0 specification at 6 Gbps. The 30AWG gauge supports the rated speed over the 1-metre length without external power.

Included Hardware Benefits

The SFF-8088 end features an upgraded push-button release for easier insertion and removal in tight bays. The SFF-8087 end uses a locking latch to resist accidental disconnects inside a chassis. Two cables are supplied so a single purchase can wire a redundant path or a second shelf.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the external SFF-8088 end to my enclosure?

Align the 26-pin SFF-8088 male plug with the port and press until the upgrade release button clicks; forcing it without the click leaves the link unseated.

What upkeep will these cables need over time?

Inspect the 30AWG conductors and locking latches periodically; reseat both ends if throughput drops, and replace any cable showing kinked wires or a broken latch.

At what point does sustained transfer hit a ceiling?

The link is rated for 6Gbps under SAS 2.0, so continuous workloads saturate at that 6Gbps ceiling before any other factor limits throughput.
