SAS breakout for RAID controllers
This two-pack provides Mini-SAS SFF-8087 to 4x SATA breakout cables for connecting a SAS HBA or PCIe RAID controller to up to four SATA drives. Each cable carries a 36-pin male Mini-SAS connector with a locking latch on the host side and four labelled SATA plugs with 90-degree right-angle ends on the target side. The 0.5 metre length suits compact chassis where longer runs would add clutter.
Four drives per cable at 6 Gb/s
Each assembly supports up to 6 Gb/s per SATA lane, giving four independent 6 Gb/s paths from a single Mini-SAS 8087 port. The forward breakout topology is designed for controller-to-drive or controller-to-backplane links; the supplier notes that plugging the Mini-SAS end directly into a backplane will not work. Two cables in the pack allow eight drives to be served from two controller ports.
Thin braided cables with labelled ends
The cables use a thin, tape-and-braid weave that resists kinking and eases routing in tight drive cages. Colour-coded or printed labels on the four SATA connectors simplify identification during installation or maintenance. The 90-degree SATA plugs reduce strain on drive ports and keep cable profiles low against backplanes or drive brackets.

Questions about this item
Will the .5 m SFF-8087 cable reach drives in a full-height server chassis alongside my existing backplane?
The .5 metre length suits compact enclosures; measure from your controller to the furthest drive bay before ordering.
How can I verify each of the four SATA links is running at 6 Gb/s after connecting the breakout?
Check the controller BIOS or OS disk utility — each drive should report a 6 Gb/s negotiated speed.
Does the 2-pack include mounting brackets or only the labelled SFF-8087 to 4× SATA cables?
Only the two labelled breakout cables are supplied; brackets or drive trays must be sourced separately.
