Two-metre Mini SAS cable with SFF-8088 plugs on both ends

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 2M 6.6FT External Mini SAS SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 Cable

SKU CH-WRMW-SKA0B

Connects external RAID controllers and storage enclosures with dual SFF-8088 26Pin plugs at up to 6Gbps SAS 2.0 speed over 2 metres

  • Up to 6Gbps SAS throughput for RAID and enclosure links
  • Double-ended SFF-8088 26Pin male connectors with locking buckles for secure attachment
  • 100-Ohm differential impedance on 30AWG copper reduces signal loss
  • 2-meter length gives flexible routing between server and storage
  • Multi-layer shielding resists EMI for 24/7 data-centre operation

Server Storage Cable

This 2 metre external Mini SAS cable carries SFF-8088 male connectors at both ends, rated for 6Gbps SAS transmission. The 30AWG conductors maintain 100 Ohm differential impedance and multi-layer shielding protects against EMI in dense rack environments. Gold-plated locking buckles secure each link against vibration and accidental disconnection. Ideal for wiring RAID controllers to external JBOD enclosures.

Data Centre Deployments

Suits administrators linking host bus adapters or RAID cards to disk arrays and SAN appliances where a two metre reach fits standard cabinet spacing. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation and supports continuous 24/7 operation in IDC rooms. Builders needing higher bandwidth or a different connector standard should select an alternative assembly.

6Gbps SAS Bandwidth

The single specification that determines fit is the 6Gbps SAS 2.0 signalling rate delivered over the SFF-8088 interface. Controllers and enclosures negotiating faster lane speeds will fall back to this limit, so verify the host and target specifications before purchasing. Length is fixed at 2 metres with 26 pin gold-plated contacts throughout.

Questions about this item

Does the cable generate noticeable heat or consume extra power when running continuously in a 24/7 server rack?

The passive 30AWG copper conductors and 100-Ohm impedance design add no active power draw or measurable heat; the multi-layer shielding is rated for continuous operation in data-centre environments.

Which connectors must already exist on my RAID card and storage enclosure for this SFF-8088 cable to plug in directly?

Both ends require a 26-pin SFF-8088 Mini SAS female port with a locking buckle; the cable’s gold-plated male plugs mate directly with those interfaces.

Will this 6Gbps SAS 2.0 cable work reliably with older 3Gbps SAS controllers and disk shelves I still use?

Yes — the SAS 2.0 specification is backward-compatible, so the cable will negotiate the lower 3Gbps link speed while maintaining the same 100-Ohm impedance and shielding performance.
