Mini-SAS breakout cable for SAS controllers

This cable splits a single SFF-8087 36-pin host port into four SFF-8482 target connectors, each with an integrated SATA 15-pin power adapter. It connects a SAS RAID controller or HBA directly to up to four SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs. The assembly uses 30 AWG conductors and measures 0.5 m in length.

Practical limits of the 6 Gb/s SAS interface

Each target connector supports a data transfer rate up to 6 Gb/s per drive. The SFF-8087 host end must plug into a controller or motherboard port; connecting it to a backplane will prevent operation. A separate SATA power cable from the power supply is required for every drive attached to the breakout.

Upgrades from single-drive SAS or SATA cables

Replacing individual drive cables with this breakout reduces cable count and simplifies routing inside the chassis. The jump is worthwhile when a controller has free SFF-8087 ports and you need to attach multiple drives without adding extra HBAs. It does not work with SAS drivers or backplane-host configurations.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 0.5 m or 1.6 m length for my chassis?

The cable is 0.5 m long; the 1.6 m figure in the supplier title is the same length expressed in feet.

What does the 6 Gb/s per drive rating mean when the cable is installed?

Each of the four SFF-8482 connectors can deliver up to 6 Gb/s to its attached drive, so the aggregate bandwidth depends on how many drives are active.

Does the SFF-8087 host connector limit the link to 6 Gb/s or 12 Gb/s?

The SFF-8087 36-pin host side is a 12 Gb/s SAS-3 interface, but each SFF-8482 target connector operates at 6 Gb/s per drive.
