SFF-8470 to SFF-8088 SAS Cable

This new Micro Connectors data transfer cable bridges equipment using a Mini SAS SFF-8470 connector on one end to an InfiniBand SFF-8088 interface on the other. The assembly measures 3.28 ft and is built for SAS signalling between compatible controllers, backplanes or enclosures. It serves technicians and system integrators who need a direct link between these two specific port types.

Suits direct Mini SAS to InfiniBand links.

The cable fits setups where one device presents an SFF-8470 port and the mating device accepts an SFF-8088 plug, eliminating the need for an extra adapter. Builders connecting two SFF-8470 ports or two SFF-8088 ports should select a different assembly. Users requiring longer reach or a different protocol such as Fibre Channel must look elsewhere.

Deciding spec: the SFF-8470

The only factor that determines whether this is the correct part is the exact connector combination: one end terminates in SFF-8470, the other in SFF-8088. If your hardware matches that pairing at 3.28 ft, the cable will carry SAS traffic between them. Any other port arrangement means this specific cable will not connect.

Questions about this item

Does the cable ship with both the SFF-8470 and SFF-8088 connectors already attached, or do I need to buy any adapters separately?

The cable has a SFF-8470 connector on one end and a SFF-8088 connector on the other; both are permanently fitted so no extra adapters are required.

The listing shows a single 3.28 ft length — is that the only option or are other lengths available for this connector combination?

Only the 3.28 ft length is offered for this SFF-8470 to SFF-8088 assembly; different lengths would be separate part numbers.

In a live system, what does the 3.28 ft length mean for signal quality when linking a controller to an external enclosure?

At 3.28 ft the cable stays well within SAS electrical limits, so the link runs at full rated speed without signal degradation.
