Internal SAS breakout cable
This 0.5 metre internal cable connects a RAID or PCIe controller with an SFF-8087 port to four discrete SATA drives. It is built for system builders and server administrators who need to attach multiple SATA devices to a single mini SAS host port. The woven mesh sheath covers half the length for easier routing inside chassis.
SFF-8087 to four SATA 6 Gb/s
The single specification that decides fit is the SFF-8087 male host connector breaking out to four SATA female target connectors, each supporting up to 6 Gb/s data transfer per drive. The 36-pin mini SAS interface spans compatible controller arrays across two PCIe 2.0 x8 lanes. Verify your controller presents an SFF-8087 port before purchase.
Passive copper with drain wire
Thermals, noise and power draw are negligible because the assembly is a passive copper cable with a tinned copper drain wire at 30 AWG. No active components generate heat or require cooling. The blue net jacket adds minimal bulk while protecting conductors during installation and long-term use.

Questions about this item
What does the 6 Gb/s bandwidth mean once the cable is installed in a server?
Each of the four SATA drives can transfer data at up to 6 Gb/s, so the cable does not bottleneck modern SSDs or HDDs connected to a compatible RAID or HBA card.
Which interface standard does the SFF-8087 connector use and what does it cap in practice?
The SFF-8087 end uses the SAS 6 Gb/s electrical standard, so the link is limited to 6 Gb/s per lane regardless of the controller’s higher capability.
How much clearance does the 90-degree SATA plug need behind the drive backplane?
The right-angle SATA connectors sit flush against the drive, requiring only the depth of the plug itself plus the 0.5 m cable bend radius for routing.
