Connectivity scope

This Vszerda cable pair uses dual SFF-8087 male connectors rated for 6 Gbps SAS and SATA 3.0 speeds. Each assembly is built with 100-ohm impedance twinax copper and full EMI shielding for stable transfers in dense server chassis. The one-meter length keeps routing tidy inside rack servers, NAS enclosures or workstations. Two cables are included for multi-drive configurations.

Who it fits

Suits administrators wiring RAID controllers, HBAs or backplanes that expose the SFF-8087 36-position interface. Builders expanding direct-attached storage with SAS or SATA drives will find the gold-plated contacts and reinforced strain relief rated for continuous operation. Buyers whose equipment uses newer mini-SAS HD or mini-SAS 4i connectors must select a different cable family.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the SFF-8087 36-pin connector on both ends combined with the 6 Gbps SAS/SATA 3.0 rating. If the host controller or backplane presents that exact interface, the pair will connect directly; otherwise an adapter or alternative cable is required.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 36-pin SFF-8087 connector need on the backplane side?

The 36-position SFF-8087 male connector fits standard mini SAS ports on RAID cards and server backplanes; allow enough depth for the strain-relief boot behind the latch.

Which orientation do the keyed SFF-8087 plugs go in, and what mistake do installers make?

Each plug is keyed so it seats only one way; the common error is forcing the connector upside-down, which bends the latch or damages the 100-ohm twinax pairs.

When should the cable set be replaced in a 24/7 RAID array?

Replace if the gold-plated contacts show corrosion, the shielding braid is crushed, or intermittent errors appear on drives connected through either 1-metre assembly.
