Single SFF8088 to four SATA breakout
This Mini SAS cable converts one 26pin SFF8088 male connector into four SATA 4pin female ports for attaching up to four drives. It links a SAS host or RAID controller to a SATA backplane in servers and storage arrays. The 1M/3.3FT length fits standard rack wiring runs. Builders needing more than four drives per port will need additional cables.
Latched connectors for secure fit
Locking latches on each connector prevent accidental disconnection during vibration or maintenance. Rugged construction minimises signal loss, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference for reliable data transfer. No active cooling or power draw is involved. The passive design adds no audible noise to the chassis.
Shielded wiring suits rack installs
The shielded assembly resists EMI in dense server environments. Straight breakout geometry simplifies routing between controller and backplane. Latch release requires deliberate finger pressure, reducing risk of accidental unplugging. Installers working in extremely tight bends should verify the bend radius suits their layout.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the SFF8088 end to my SAS controller without the latch catching?
Align the 26 pin SFF8088 male connector with the controller port, press straight in until the latch clicks, then route the four SATA 4pin female ends to the backplane bays.
Which part of this cable is most likely to need replacement after repeated drive swaps?
The four SATA 4pin female connectors see the most insertions and can loosen over time; the SFF8088 male end and the 1M/3.3FT cable body typically remain intact.
What limits sustained throughput when four drives are active on this breakout?
The single SFF8088 male link carries all four SATA streams, so its lane bandwidth becomes the bottleneck before individual SATA device limits are reached.
