10Gtek

10Gtek QSFP SFF-8436 to Mini SAS SFF-8088 cable 2 m

SKU CH-22NW-KRJCR

A 2-metre hybrid cable with QSFP and Mini SAS connectors, 100-ohm impedance and up to 6 Gb/s per channel

Length 6.6 ft.

Style SFF-8436 to SFF-8088

  • Connects QSFP+ to Mini SAS HD gear
  • 100-ohm impedance keeps signals clean per channel
  • Up to 6 Gb/s per channel for SAS 2.0 links
  • QSFP MSA and SAS 3.0 compliant design
  • 2-metre passive cable for short-reach rack runs

Connection Bridge

This 10Gtek hybrid cable connects a QSFP port (SFF-8436) to an external Mini SAS port (SFF-8088). It is built for linking switches, HBAs or storage enclosures that use those two different interfaces. The passive assembly runs two metres and meets the QSFP MSA and SAS 3.0 specifications. Impedance is controlled to 100 Ohms for signal integrity.

Who It Fits

The cable suits integrators joining QSFP-equipped gear to SFF-8088 external ports at SAS 2.0 speeds up to 6 Gb/s per channel. It will not serve links that require active signal conditioning or longer reach. Buyers needing a different connector pairing or higher data rates should look elsewhere. This is a direct-attach passive copper solution only.

Speed Limit

Each channel operates at up to 6 Gb/s, matching the SAS 2.0 rate stated for this assembly. That figure determines whether the link meets your throughput target. Verify your host and device ports both support this speed before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 2 m QSFP-to-SFF-8088 cable ship with both connectors fitted and ready to use?

Yes. The passive cable has a QSFP (SFF-8436) plug on one end and a Mini SAS HD (SFF-8088) plug on the other; no extra adapters or modules are required.

Should I choose this 6 Gb/s per channel version or a faster one for my SAS 2.0 array?

This cable is rated at 6 Gb/s per channel, matching SAS 2.0 speeds. Select it when your controller and backplane run at 6 Gb/s; a higher-rate cable would not increase throughput.

What does the 100-ohm impedance figure mean once the cable is installed in a live system?

The 100-ohm differential impedance matches the SAS signalling standard, minimising pair-to-pair skew and reflections so each 6 Gb/s channel remains error-free over the full 2 m length.
