Blue 2m SAS cable with SFF-8088 male connectors on both ends

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK External Mini SAS Cable SFF-8088 Male to Male 2m 6.6ft 26Pin 30AWG 100 Ohm

SKU CH-3YX8-W33WS

Connects external Mini SAS SFF-8088 devices at 6Gbps with 26-pin male connectors, 100 Ohm impedance, 30AWG conductors, double shielding and a 6.6ft length for server and storage arrays

  • 6 Gbps speed for enterprise SAS storage
  • SFF-8088 26-pin male-to-male direct connection
  • 100 Ohm impedance with 30 AWG conductors for signal stability
  • Double-layer shielding blocks electromagnetic interference
  • 2 m / 6.6 ft length suits rack-to-rack wiring

External SAS Cable SFF-8088

This 2 metre SFF-8088 male-to-male cable carries external SAS traffic at up to 6Gbps between servers, RAID controllers and disk enclosures. It uses 30AWG conductors with 100 Ohm impedance and double-layer shielding to maintain signal integrity. Robust metal locking connectors resist vibration in rack environments. The 6.6 foot length suits cabinet cross-connections and external wiring layouts.

Suited for 6Gbps SAS links

IT teams building or expanding storage arrays, JBOD units or NAS appliances at 6Gbps will find the connectors and shielding match enterprise requirements. The cable does not support higher-speed SAS standards, so buyers needing faster links must select a product rated for those rates. It is not intended for internal backplane routing or non-SAS protocols.

6Gbps transmission rating

The single specification that decides fit is the 6Gbps SAS transmission rating; the cable is validated for this speed with 26-pin SFF-8088 ends, 30AWG wire and 100 Ohm impedance. Verify that both host and target equipment operate at this rate before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is operating at the rated 6Gbps after connecting my RAID controller to the disk enclosure?

Check the controller BIOS or management utility for a negotiated link speed of 6Gbps on each port and confirm zero CRC or phy errors during sustained read and write workloads.

What connectors and shielding are included, and do I need any adapters for SFF-8088 ports?

The cable has SFF-8088 26-pin male connectors on both ends with double-layer shielding and metal locking latches; no adapters are required for standard SFF-8088 ports.

When should I select this 2m 30AWG 100 Ohm version instead of a longer or heavier-gauge alternative?

Choose this 2 metre length for typical rack-to-rack or server-to-JBOD runs where 6.6 feet provides enough slack without excess cable, and 30AWG 100 Ohm construction meets the 6Gbps signal-integrity requirement.
