SMUGDESK 2 Pack 1m Mini SAS SFF-8087 to 4 SFF-8482 SAS Cable

SKU CH-MJEW-M4WST

Two cables split one Mini SAS port into four SAS/SATA drive connections with SATA power taps for stable 24/7 operation

  • Two cables simplify multi-disk RAID wiring
  • One Mini SAS 8087 fans out to four 8482 ports
  • Integrated SATA power taps prevent drive spin-down
  • One metre length fits 4U and 2U chassis routing
  • Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for 24/7 operation

Two-Cable Server Breakout Kit

This pack supplies two identical one-meter breakout cables built for enterprise servers, RAID arrays and NAS enclosures. Each cable splits a single SFF-8087 Mini SAS port into four independent SFF-8482 connectors so you can attach up to four SAS or SATA drives per cable. The design targets administrators who need dense, tidy internal wiring for multi-disk deployments.

Sustained Operation With Auxiliary Power

Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation during continuous 24/7 duty cycles and keep signal loss low across the full length. Every drive branch includes a SATA power tap that draws from the PSU when the backplane cannot supply enough current on its own. This extra feed prevents spin-up failures, drive drop-outs and array degradation during prolonged heavy read-write workloads.

One-Metre Length For Standard Rack Depth

The 3.3-foot cable is sized for typical 2U and 4U chassis, letting you route along existing cable ties without slack that blocks airflow. It supports both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch enterprise drives, but the fixed length may not reach distant drive bays in full-depth cabinets or custom enclosures. Buyers who need longer runs or right-angle connectors will need a different cable.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1-meter SFF-8087 to four SFF-8482 breakout cable generate during 24/7 server operation?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with gold-plated connectors, so it produces no measurable heat of its own; any warmth comes from the drives and controller it connects.

Which power connector must my power supply provide for the integrated SATA auxiliary power interface on each branch?

A standard SATA power plug from the PSU is required to feed the auxiliary port and prevent spin-up failures on enterprise SAS or SATA disks.

Will the SFF-8482 ends mate with the 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives already installed in my older array?

Yes, each SFF-8482 female port accepts both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch enterprise SAS or SATA hard drives and SSDs without adapters.
