External Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable

This new Vszerda cable bridges an external Mini SAS SFF-8088 male connector to four SATA female connectors over a 3.3 foot length. It is built for administrators and builders who need to link a SAS controller or host adapter to a SATA backplane or drive cage in a server or workstation. The copper conductors support a 3.0 Gb/s signalling rate and the latch-equipped plug uses an upgraded press-button release for easier insertion and removal.

Suits SAS-to-SATA fan-out

The assembly fits installations where a single external Mini SAS port must feed up to four SATA targets, such as direct-attached storage enclosures or internal hot-swap bays. It will not work for setups that require an internal Mini SAS connector, a different pin count, or a pure SATA host connection. Builders needing longer runs, higher SAS speeds, or angled connectors should look at other cable designs.

SFF-8088 male to four SATA female

The decisive specification is the 26-pin SFF-8088 male plug on one end and four 7-pin SATA female receptacles on the other, defining exactly which controllers and backplanes can be connected without adapters.

Questions about this item

What controller interface do I need for the SFF-8088 male connector to work?

You need a controller or host bus adapter with an external SFF-8088 Mini SAS port to plug the 26-pin male connector into.

Will the 3.0 Gbps Mini SAS link still run if I attach older SATA drives to the four 7-pin female connectors?

Yes, the SAS interface is backwards compatible with SATA, so each drive will operate at its own SATA speed while the cable carries up to 3.0 Gbps per lane.

How can I verify the cable is seated correctly after connecting it?

Press the upgraded release button on the SFF-8088 plug until it clicks, then confirm each SATA connector is fully inserted and the system detects all four drives.
