QSFP+ SFF-8436 to SFF-8088 cable for SAS links

This two-metre passive copper cable connects a QSFP+ port (SFF-8436) to an external Mini SAS connector (SFF-8088). It carries up to 10 Gbps per channel and uses 30 AWG conductors with a 100 Ω impedance. The 38-pin male-to-female assembly is built to the QSFP MSA and SAS 3.0 specifications. It suits administrators linking switches, HBAs or storage arrays that expose those two interfaces.

Check port types and cable reach before ordering

Verify that one end of your link uses a QSFP+ (SFF-8436) receptacle and the other an SFF-8088 Mini SAS port. Confirm the 2 m length fits the rack or cabinet layout without strain. Ensure both devices support the same SAS signalling rate so the 10 Gbps per channel capability can be used. The passive design draws no external power, so no auxiliary supply is required.

Passive copper holds signal quality over the full

With 30 AWG conductors and controlled pair-to-pair skew, the cable maintains the 100 Ω impedance across the 2 m run. Low power consumption means no added heat load in dense patch panels. Compliance with the QSFP MSA and SAS 3.0 ensures consistent eye-diagram margins under sustained traffic. The assembly is intended for continuous operation in storage and networking environments.

Questions about this item

What connectors and cable length come in the box, and is any extra hardware required?

The box contains a single copper passive cable with a QSFP+ (SFF-8436) male connector on one end and an SFF-8088 Mini SAS male connector on the other, measuring 2 m (6.6 ft). No additional hardware is needed for a direct link.

Which version should I pick for a 10 Gbps per channel link over 2 metres?

This 30 AWG, 100 Ω passive copper cable is specified for up to 10 Gbps per channel at the 2 m length, compliant with SAS 3.0 and QSFP MSA, so it matches that requirement directly.

What does the 10 Gbps per channel rating mean when the cable is installed in a live system?

Each of the 38-pin channels can carry up to 10 Gbps, giving an aggregate throughput that depends on how many lanes the connected SAS or QSFP+ ports actually use.
