SFF-8087 to 4× SFF-8482 breakout cable

This 3.3 FT internal cable connects a Mini SAS 36-pin SFF-8087 controller port to four 29-pin SFF-8482 drive connectors with integrated SATA power. It is designed for builders linking a SAS controller to up to four SATA hard drives in a server or workstation chassis. The fan-out layout keeps cable routing tidy when populating multiple drive bays. Each target connector carries both data and power from the single host interface.

Passive design runs without extra cooling

The assembly uses no active components so it adds no fan noise or thermal load to the system. Power for the attached SATA drives is supplied through the integrated SATA power leads on each 29-pin branch. Current draw depends entirely on the drives connected, not on the cable itself. No external power adapter or motherboard header is required beyond the controller slot.

Replaces separate data and power looms

This single cable replaces the combination of a Mini SAS-to-SAS data cable plus four individual SATA power extensions. The upgrade is worth it when drive bays are tight and reducing cable count improves airflow or build time. It is not suited for direct attachment to a SAS backplane that expects a straight SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 link. Buyers needing native SAS drive support without SATA translation should choose a different pin-out.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the SFF-8087 end into my controller and the four SFF-8482 ends into SATA drives, and what is the common mistake?

Connect the 36-pin SFF-8087 connector to the SAS controller port; attach each 29-pin SFF-8482 connector to a SATA drive. The cable carries data only — you must supply separate SATA power to each drive or the drives will not spin up.

What upkeep or replacement should I expect for this 3.3 FT cable over time?

The cable has no moving parts and needs no scheduled maintenance. Inspect the 36-pin and four 29-pin connectors occasionally for bent pins or dust; replace the cable if any connector is damaged or if intermittent drive errors appear.

What is the first limit I will hit when running four drives continuously through this fan-out cable?

The single SFF-8087 36-pin host link aggregates all four drives, so sustained throughput is limited by that one controller port bandwidth rather than by the individual SFF-8482 connections.
