CableCreation Mini SAS 36Pin SFF-8087 Male to 4 SATA 7Pin Female Cable 1M
Connects a Mini SAS 36 (SFF-8087) controller to four SATA drives over one metre
- Connects one Mini SAS 36-pin controller to four SATA drives
- 1 metre length suits typical server chassis layouts
- SFF-8087 male plug mates with standard SAS host ports
- Four SATA 7-pin female connectors link directly to backplanes
- Serial Attached SCSI interface delivers high-throughput data access
Mini SAS to four SATA breakout
This CableCreation cable connects a Mini SAS 36Pin (SFF-8087) male host port on a controller to four SATA 7Pin female target connectors on a backplane or drives. It carries Serial Attached SCSI signals for high-throughput storage links in a single 1M assembly.
Build integration and clearance
The 3.3FT length suits typical chassis routing from a RAID or HBA card to a drive cage without excess slack. The breakout design frees up controller ports by consolidating four drive connections into one Mini SAS 36 interface.
Upgrade context and limits
Replaces four individual SATA-to-SATA cables when the host only offers a Mini SAS 36 (SFF-8087) connector. The jump is worth it when a controller or backplane uses that specific 36Pin interface and you need four SATA targets.

Questions about this item
How far can the SFF-8087 end reach from the controller to the backplane?
The cable is 1M (3.3FT) long, so the controller and backplane must be within that distance for a straight run.
Does the Mini SAS 36Pin SFF-8087 connector add noticeable heat or power draw when the array runs continuously?
The cable itself is passive copper with no active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw during sustained operation.
What host interface must the system already have for the SFF-8087 male end to plug in?
The system needs a Mini SAS 36Pin (SFF-8087) port on a SAS controller or HBA to accept the male connector.
