ORVIX Mini SAS SFF-8087 male to four SATA breakout cable, 0.5 m, braided sleeving

ORVIX

ORVIX Mini SAS SFF-8087 to 4×SATA Breakout Cable 0.5 m

SKU CH-2MMK-6HBWW

A 0.5 m Mini SAS SFF-8087 to four SATA breakout cable connects a RAID controller or motherboard to four drives at up to 6 Gb/s per lane

  • Connect RAID controller or motherboard via 36-pin Mini SAS SFF-8087 male
  • Attach up to four SATA drives or backplane with single cable
  • Supports 6 Gb/s per lane for fast data transfer
  • 5 m braided design simplifies routing in tight chassis
  • Locking latch on 8087 connector secures connection against vibration

Internal breakout cable for RAID controllers

The ORVIX cable connects a 36-pin SFF-8087 host port on a RAID controller or motherboard to four SATA drives or a backplane. It is built for internal storage expansion in servers or workstations where a single Mini SAS link must fan out to multiple targets. The 0.5 m length keeps routing tidy inside compact chassis. Do not plug the SFF-8087 end into a backplane; the pinout is host-to-target only.

Passive assembly with no active cooling

As a purely passive copper assembly the cable draws no power and adds no audible noise to the system. Thermals are limited to the negligible resistive loss of the conductors at 6 Gb/s per lane. The thin, braided jacket remains flexible for tight bends without generating airflow obstruction. No fan, heatsink or external supply is involved in normal operation.

Labelled tails and locking latch simplify

Each SATA tail carries a port label so installers can match drives to array slots without tracing wires. The SFF-8087 plug includes a locking latch that resists accidental unseating during vibration or drive swaps. The tape-and-braid weave protects the conductors from abrasion while keeping the bundle slim for cable-management channels.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 0.5 m SFF-8087 breakout cable and what is the common mistake?

Plug the 36-pin Mini SAS 8087 male connector into the RAID controller or motherboard port, then attach the four SATA 7-pin plugs to the drives. The mistake is connecting the SFF-8087 end to a backplane instead of the host controller, which prevents the link from working.

What maintenance or replacement will this cable need over time?

The braided, tape-wrapped cable is passive and has no moving parts, so it requires no scheduled maintenance. Replace it only if the locking latch on the 8087 plug breaks, the braid frays, or a SATA connector becomes loose after repeated mating cycles.

What limit appears first when the cable runs at full 6 Gb/s per drive continuously?

The 0.5 metre length keeps signal loss minimal, so the practical limit is the host controller’s aggregate bandwidth or the drives’ own sustained throughput, not the cable itself.
