LSI Mini SAS SFF-8087 to 4 SATA Breakout Cable 3.3FT

SKU CH-J4SC-MTX76

Connects a 36-pin Mini SAS SFF-8087 host port to four SATA drives at up to 6 Gb/s per drive

  • Connects RAID controller to four SATA drives
  • 36-pin SFF-8087 male plugs into HBA or motherboard
  • Locking latch secures each SATA data connection
  • Supports 6 Gb/s per drive for fast throughput
  • 3 ft length with braided sheath aids cable routing

Host-to-Drive Connectivity

This LSI breakout cable links a single internal Mini SAS SFF-8087 port on a motherboard or RAID controller to four SATA drives or a backplane. The 36-pin male connector carries four independent 6 Gb/s channels through a 3.3 ft braided assembly. It is built for administrators adding direct-attached storage to a server or workstation chassis.

Replacing Fan-Out Cables

The assembly replaces older multi-cable fan-out kits that clutter drive bays and impede airflow. A single latch-equipped Mini SAS plug reduces insertion force and eliminates the risk of mismatched ports during maintenance. The upgrade is worthwhile when consolidating four SATA links into one managed connection simplifies cable routing and service windows.

SAS-SATA Protocol Limit

The cable passes SAS host signals to SATA targets but cannot operate in reverse; plugging the Mini SAS end into a backplane will not function. Each lane is capped at the SATA 6 Gb/s ceiling, so attached SSDs or HDDs cannot exceed that throughput regardless of controller capability. The 0.5 m and 3.3 ft length options constrain placement to within the same enclosure.

Questions about this item

Will the 36-pin Mini-SAS connector fit my controller card?

The host end uses a 36-pin male SFF-8087 plug that inserts into any standard internal Mini-SAS port on a motherboard or RAID controller.

Which end plugs in first during installation?

Connect the single SFF-8087 male end to the controller, then attach each of the four labelled SATA female plugs to the drives; reversing the order can prevent detection.

Do the SATA connectors wear out and need replacing?

The four SATA female 7-pin connectors are rated for repeated mating cycles; replace individual cables only if a latch breaks or signal errors appear.
