Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes a Mini-SAS/SATA interface standard, featuring a 36-pin SFF-8087 male connector on one end that plugs directly into a compatible SAS host bus adapter or controller. The opposite end splits into four separate connectors, each combining a 29-pin SFF-8482 interface for data with an adjacent 15-pin SATA power connector. This integrated design simplifies drive connections by delivering both signals and power through a single cable branch per drive.
The cable supports a data transfer rate of 6 gigabits per second per channel, aligning with SAS 2.0 and SATA 3.0 specifications for high-throughput storage operations. Constructed with 30 AWG wiring, it balances flexibility with signal integrity. The cable is rated for internal use only and is compatible with SAS controllers, hard drives, and other storage devices that accept SFF-8087 and SFF-8482 connectors.
Key Product Advantages
This cable streamlines storage deployments by reducing the number of individual cables needed to connect multiple drives to a controller. The four-in-one design consolidates connections, saving space and improving airflow within enclosures while simplifying cable management.
High-Density Connectivity
Enables a single SFF-8087 port to support up to four drives, maximizing port utilization in space-constrained server or storage systems.
- Reduces cable count
- Optimizes chassis space
- Simplifies drive expansions
Durable Construction
Built with flexible, robust materials to withstand repeated installations and internal chassis environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Flexible for easy routing
- Resists wear and tear
- Maintains signal integrity
Integrated Power Delivery
Each SFF-8482 connector includes a SATA power interface, eliminating the need for separate power cables to each drive.
- Combined data and power
- Reduces cable clutter
- Streamlines installation
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for IT professionals and system integrators building or upgrading storage systems that require efficient, high-speed connections between SAS controllers and multiple drives. Its design supports both SAS and SATA drives, offering versatility in mixed storage environments.
Common applications include connecting drive backplanes in server racks, expanding storage capacity in workstations, or linking drives in external storage enclosures that use internal cabling. The 1.6-foot length is well-suited for typical distances between controller cards and drive bays in standard chassis, providing enough slack for neat routing without excess cable.
Server Storage Expansion
Add multiple drives to a SAS HBA in rackmount servers, supporting RAID arrays or bulk storage for virtualization, databases, or backup.
Workstation Drive Arrays
Connect several high-performance drives in desktop workstations for video editing, 3D rendering, or scientific computing where fast storage access is critical.
Physical Profile
The cable features a red PVC jacket that provides both durability and easy visual identification during installation or troubleshooting. With a weight of approximately 3.36 ounces (95.25 grams), it is lightweight yet sturdy, designed to lie flat or bend smoothly within chassis without kinking. The 1.6-foot length offers practical reach for most internal layouts while keeping excess cable to a minimum.

FAQ
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with SAS host bus adapters, RAID controllers, or other devices featuring an SFF-8087 Mini-SAS port. It connects to storage devices such as SAS or SATA hard drives and solid-state drives that use SFF-8482 interfaces. It is designed for internal use within servers, workstations, or storage enclosures.
Does this cable require separate power cables for the drives?
No, separate power cables are not required. Each of the four SFF-8482 connectors on the cable includes an integrated 15-pin SATA power connector alongside the 29-pin data interface. This delivers both data and power to each connected drive, reducing the need for additional cabling.
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 6 gigabits per second per channel. This aligns with SAS 2.0 and SATA 3.0 specifications, enabling high-speed data throughput for storage operations in performance-sensitive applications like database servers or media editing workstations.
Is this cable suitable for external use or only internal?
This cable is designed for internal use only. It should be installed inside computer cases, servers, or storage enclosures where it is protected from environmental factors. It is not rated or shielded for external deployment outside of a chassis.
