CY SFF-8088 to SFF-8087 Extension Cable

This 50cm cable bridges an external SFF-8088 male connector to an internal SFF-8087 female connector. It supports data transfer rates up to 12Gb/s for server and storage deployments. A low-profile bracket is included for secure mounting in compact chassis.

Suits builders linking external SAS enclosures

The SFF-8088 end locks securely for external cabling while the SFF-8087 end snaps into internal backplanes. Buyers who need a direct internal-to-internal link or an external-to-external extension should look at a different cable assembly.

12Gb/s transfer rate over 50cm

The cable meets the SAS 2.1 standard and uses connectors specified for SAS 3.0 at 12Gb/s. Both the 26-pin SFF-8088 and 36-pin SFF-8087 connectors feature locking mechanisms to resist vibration in rack environments.

Highlights

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFF-8087 male to SFF-8088 female extension cable with the low-profile bracket?

Align the SFF-8087 male connector with the internal port and press until the locking mechanism snaps securely. Mount the low-profile bracket to the chassis slot, then connect the external SFF-8088 female end and engage its latch to lock the link.

What maintenance or replacement will this cable need over time?

Inspect both the SFF-8087 and SFF-8088 locking latches periodically for wear; replace the cable if a latch no longer holds firmly or if the 50 cm cable shows kinks, connector damage, or intermittent 12 Gb/s link errors.

What limit appears first during sustained 12 Gb/s transfers?

The 50 cm length and four-lane SFF-8088 interface set the practical ceiling; signal integrity at 12 Gb/s over this distance becomes the limiting factor before thermal or protocol overhead.
