Red SFF-8087 Splitter Cable

This red splitter cable connects a single SFF-8087 36-pin port to four SATA 7-pin drives. It suits builders adding multiple hard drives or SSDs to a backplane or RAID controller in a server or workstation. The 0.5 metre length keeps routing tidy inside compact chassis. The cable weighs 42 grams and uses copper conductors with plastic insulation.

SFF-8087 to Four SATA Connections

The 36-pin SFF-8087 interface carries four independent SATA lanes, so each attached drive receives a dedicated 6 Gbps link. Positive latching on each SATA 7-pin plug secures the connection against vibration. No extra software or drivers are required; the operating system sees each drive individually. The red colour helps identify the cable in dense wiring looms.

Capacity and Headroom

The splitter supports up to four SATA drives simultaneously at full 6 Gbps per lane. It runs out of ports when a fifth drive is needed, requiring an additional controller port or a second splitter. The fixed 0.5 metre length limits placement to devices near the controller; longer runs would need a different cable. The 50 by 0.6 cm profile fits tight drive cages but offers no slack for wide spacing.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8087 36-pin connector or the four SATA 7-pin plugs need replacement first?

Both ends are passive copper contacts inside plastic housings; they do not wear out under normal insertions, so neither side typically requires replacement.

What stops the cable from running four drives at 6 Gbps continuously?

The 0.5 m length and 0.6 cm width keep signal loss low, so the practical limit is the host controller’s aggregate bandwidth, not the cable itself.

Does the splitter add noticeable heat or power draw when all four drives spin 24/7?

The cable draws no power of its own and generates no measurable heat; only the drives and controller contribute to thermal load.
