External SAS Cable SFF-8644 to SFF-8088

This one-meter cable connects an SFF-8644 port to an SFF-8088 port for external SAS or SATA links. It is built for ATTO ExpressSAS HBAs, ThunderLink adapters and XstreamCORE bridges. The assembly carries the part number CABL8079EX1 and ships new.

Suits direct-attach storage and JBOD expansion

This cable fits administrators linking an HBA to an external enclosure that uses the SFF-8088 connector. It does not suit installations requiring an internal SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 link or a different cable length. Buyers needing a second connector type or a longer reach should look at other options.

Connector pairing SFF-8644 to SFF-8088

The cable terminates in an SFF-8644 plug on one end and an SFF-8088 plug on the other. This specific pairing determines whether the cable matches the ports on your controller and enclosure. Verify both port types before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 1 m SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cable is passing data correctly after connecting my ExpressSAS HBA?

Check the HBA management utility for link status on each port; a healthy link shows the negotiated SAS speed and zero CRC errors.

What comes with the ATTO CABL8079EX1 and what must I source separately?

The package contains only the 1 m breakout cable; you must provide the ExpressSAS HBA or ThunderLink adapter with SFF-8644 ports and the target enclosure with SFF-8088 connectors.

Which ATTO SAS cable variant should I choose for a 1 m external link between an SFF-8644 HBA port and an SFF-8088 enclosure?

Select CABL8079EX1 — it is the 1 metre breakout assembly built for that exact SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 connection.
