QSFP+ SFF-8436 to SFF-8088 cable

This 9.8ft passive copper cable connects a QSFP+ port to an SFF-8088 Mini SAS connector. It serves administrators linking switches or host adapters to external storage enclosures that use the SFF-8088 interface. The male-to-male assembly arrives new and ready for rack installation.

Fits 10 Gbps SAS links with 30AWG conductors

The 30AWG copper pairs present a 100 Ohm differential impedance and meet SAS 3.0 electrical requirements. No external power is needed, so the cable draws no additional budget from the chassis supply. QSFP MSA compliance allows use with multi-vendor QSFP+ ports that accept passive direct-attach copper.

Sustained 10 Gbps per channel with controlled skew

Precision pair-matching minimises pair-to-pair skew, helping the link maintain its rated speed over the full 9.8ft run. Passive construction means thermal output stays negligible during continuous traffic. The cable does not support active equalisation or longer reaches beyond the specified length.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum cable length before signal loss at 10 Gbps?

The cable is 9.8 ft (3 m) long, built with 30 AWG copper and 100 Ohm impedance to meet SAS 3.0 reach limits for passive assemblies.

Does the passive design generate heat or need extra cooling during continuous operation?

No active components are present, so the cable produces negligible heat and requires no additional cooling when running all day.

Which ports must my equipment already have to use this cable?

One end needs a QSFP+ (SFF-8436) port and the other an SFF-8088 Mini SAS connector; both must be male receptacles.
