ETopSell SFF-8087 36 Pin to 4x SFF-8482 29 Pin SAS Cable 0.5M

SKU CH-KY77-PGCTJ

Connects a SFF-8087 host to four SFF-8482 drives with included power leads, supporting 6.0 Gbps SAS 3.0 over 30AWG tinned copper at 100 ohm impedance

  • ColorAsh
  • Length0.5

Length 1.64 ft. (0.5m)

  • Connects one controller to four drives
  • 36-pin SFF-8087 host plugs into your RAID card
  • Four 29-pin SFF-8482 targets attach SAS disks
  • SAS 3.0 cable rated for 6.0 Gbps per lane
  • Includes four-pin power leads for drive power

Internal SAS breakout cable for RAID arrays

This 0.5 metre cable splits a single SFF-8087 36-pin host port into four SFF-8482 29-pin drive connectors. It is built for servers or workstations that connect multiple SAS hard drives to one RAID controller or HBA. The bundle includes a four-pin power lead for the drives.

Replaces loose fan-out cables

The SAS 3.0 30AWG tinned copper conductors support 6.0 Gbps per lane with 100 ohm impedance. Upgrade when existing cables limit throughput or lack the extra power feed. The slim braided ribbon design keeps airflow clear inside tight chassis.

Verify controller port

Confirm the host side uses an SFF-8087 mini-SAS receptacle and each target drive presents an SFF-8482 29-pin interface. Ensure the four-pin power header matches your drive power requirements. The fixed 0.5 metre length suits only short internal runs.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 0.5 m braided cable need inside the case?

The slender ribbon cable in a braided mesh sheath is 0.5 m long and designed to minimise airflow obstruction, so it fits in tight SFF chassis without blocking fans.

How do I connect the SFF-8087 host side and the four SFF-8482 drive ends?

Plug the 36-pin SFF-8087 male connector into the controller, attach each 29-pin SFF-8482 connector to a SAS drive, and connect the included 4-pin power lead to the drive power source — skipping the power lead is the common mistake.

When should I replace the 30 AWG tinned-copper cable?

Replace it if the braided sheath frays, the 36-pin or 29-pin connectors develop bent pins, or signal errors appear at 6.0 Gbps, indicating the 100 ohm impedance path has degraded.
