Internal SAS breakout cable
This new JacobsParts cable connects a RAID or PCIe controller equipped with an internal SFF-8087 port to four SATA drives. It uses a 32-pin Mini SAS connector that fans out to four 7-pin SATA connectors over a 3.3 ft length. The assembly supports up to 6Gb/s per drive and uses slim ribbon cables wrapped in woven mesh sheathing.
Suits RAID expansion with internal controllers
Builders adding multiple SATA disks to a host bus adapter with an SFF-8087 interface will find the forward breakout layout convenient. Low-profile SATA plugs with steel latches resist vibration disconnects. It is not for systems lacking an internal SFF-8087 port, for external drive enclosures, or for connecting SAS drives directly.
32-pin SFF-8087 to four SATA 7-pin
The single specification that decides fit is the connector pairing: a 32-pin internal Mini SAS plug on one end and four standard SATA 7-pin receptacles on the other. If the controller presents a different port style or the drives require a different interface, this cable will not work.

Questions about this item
Will the SFF-8087 connector or the four SATA latches need periodic replacement?
The stainless-steel latches on each low-profile SATA plug resist vibration disconnects, and the acetate cloth tape over the ribbon cables provides strain relief; no scheduled connector replacement is required.
What throughput ceiling appears first when all four drives run sustained transfers?
Each drive is limited to 6 Gb/s, so the combined ceiling is the PCIe 2.0 x8 host lane bandwidth shared across the four lanes.
How much extra heat or airflow restriction does the 3.3 ft ribbon add inside a packed case?
The slim ribbon cables and half-length woven mesh sheath are designed to minimise airflow impact while routing between controller and drives.
