26-Pin SFF-8088 External SAS Cable

This 1 m SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 hybrid cable links external RAID controllers or HBA cards to JBOD enclosures and legacy server backplanes. It uses AWG30 twinaxial copper conductors in an 8-pair layout to deliver 6 Gbps signalling compliant with SAS 2.1. Die-cast zinc connector housings with protective caps and pull tabs simplify handling in dense rack environments.

Suits administrators wiring 6 Gbps external SAS

Installers who need internal Mini SAS HD ports, higher signalling rates, or fibre-channel interfaces must choose a different product. The male-to-male gender and fixed 1 m length also limit use in setups requiring female bulkheads or longer runs between racks.

SAS 2.1 compliance at 6 Gbps

This single specification defines the maximum data rate and protocol level the cable supports, determining whether it matches the controller and backplane firmware in your deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1 m or 3.28 ft length for my rack?

Both figures describe the same cable; select the unit that matches your rack plan.

What does the 6 Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed?

It delivers up to 6 Gbps per lane across the 8-pair twinaxial conductors between a SAS HBA and an external drive subsystem.

How does the SAS 2.1 interface limit real-world throughput?

The SAS 2.1 standard caps each lane at 6 Gbps, so aggregate bandwidth depends on the number of active lanes in your controller and backplane.
