Hybrid SAS connectivity

This cable links a QSFP+ SFF-8436 port to an external Mini SAS SFF-8088 connector. It suits administrators attaching external storage enclosures to host bus adapters or RAID controllers. The hybrid design bridges differing rack-mount interfaces in a single passive assembly.

Metal shell with pull tabs

Die-cast zinc housings and a metal outer shell provide shielding for 100-ohm twinaxial pairs built from AWG28 and AWG30 wire. Protective caps guard the ends against dust when disconnected. Pull tabs simplify release in dense rack environments without damaging adjacent cables.

Replaces separate adapter cables

The assembly removes the need for a QSFP-to-MiniSAS adapter plus a standard MiniSAS cable. Compliance with SAS 2.1 on the SFF-8088 side and SAS 3.0 on the QSFP side supports 10 Gbps links. It is not for internal backplane routing or single-connector environments.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the SFF-8088 to QSFP cable support?

The cable is rated for up to 10 Gbps and complies with SAS 2.1 on the SFF-8088 side and SAS 3.0 on the QSFP side.

What connectors and length does this hybrid cable use?

It has a male SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD connector on one end and a male QSFP SFF-8436 connector on the other, with a 6.5 m length.

How do you install the cable without damaging the ports?

Align the keyed SFF-8088 and QSFP connectors, push straight in until the latches click, and use the pull tabs to release — never pull the cable body.
