SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 2 Pack 1M SFF-8087 Mini SAS to 4 SATA Forward Breakout Cable

SKU CH-8VWK-TYCZW

Two cables split one SFF-8087 port into four SATA channels at 6Gbps for server storage expansion

  • Connect up to eight drives with two 1 metre cables
  • Each SFF-8087 port splits into four SATA III 6Gbps channels
  • Forward breakout design links RAID controllers and HBA adapters directly
  • Double shielding cuts electromagnetic interference for reliable high-speed data transfer
  • Locking SATA connectors with numbered labels keep wiring tidy and secure

Two-Pack Forward Breakout Cable

This SMUGDESK set includes two internal fanout cables, each one metre long, that connect a single SFF-8087 Mini SAS host port to four separate SATA III 6Gbps drives. They are built for servers, NAS units and workstations that need to expand storage capacity through a RAID card or HBA.

Replaces Loose Single Cables

Using a single multi-lane assembly instead of four discrete cables reduces connector count at the controller and cuts clutter inside dense chassis. The upgrade is worthwhile when a 36-pin SFF-8087 port is available and the builder wants simpler routing without sacrificing per-channel bandwidth.

Fits Controller-Side Expansion

The forward breakout design plugs directly into a RAID or HBA controller equipped with an SFF-8087 receptacle, freeing the backplane for other connections. Double shielding and locking SATA ends with numbered labels keep signals clean and cables identifiable, though the cable is not intended for backplane SFF-8087 ports.

Questions about this item

What size drives can the SATA ends connect to?

The four SATA connectors accept both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and SSDs.

How is the SFF-8087 end seated on the controller?

Insert the 36-pin Mini SAS plug straight into the host port until the latch clicks; forcing it at an angle bends pins.

What should be checked when drives drop out?

Reseat each locking SATA connector and inspect the double-shielded cable for kinks that degrade the 6Gbps signal.
