Blue breakout cable with one SFF8088 plug to four SFF8482 connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8088 26Pin to 4×SFF8482 SAS Cable 1M

SKU CH-QK5Y-XFH9K

Breakout cable converts one SFF8088 26pin port to four SFF8482 connectors for multi-SAS drive expansion at 6Gbps

  • 1-to-4 breakout connects four SAS drives from one SFF8088 port
  • 6Gbps bandwidth supports fast RAID array performance
  • 28AWG copper conductors reduce signal loss over distance
  • 1 metre length allows flexible external-to-internal wiring
  • Server-grade shielding cuts crosstalk and EMI for reliability

Connector layout

This breakout cable converts a single SFF8088 26pin Mini SAS HD port into four SFF8482 connectors, enabling multi‑drive SAS expansion from one controller port. The 1meter length suits external‑to‑internal server storage wiring in enterprise racks and JBOD enclosures.

Who it suits and who it does not

Installers linking SAS RAID controllers or HBAs to up to four SAS hard drives in server or storage chassis will find the 6Gbps rating and 28AWG copper conductors fit typical enterprise arrays. Buyers needing higher throughput for newer SSDs or longer reach between separate racks should look at something else.

Deciding specification

The cable carries a single SFF8088 26pin interface to four SFF8482 ports at 6Gbps, so matching that exact controller‑to‑drive topology is the factor that determines whether this part fits the build.

Questions about this item

What controller port is required for the SFF8088 26Pin connector on this cable?

You need a controller or HBA with an SFF8088 26Pin Mini SAS HD port to plug the single end of this breakout cable.

Can the four SFF8482 connectors attach to older SAS drives that only negotiate 3Gbps?

Yes, the cable carries 6Gbps bandwidth and will fall back to the drive's native speed, so 3Gbps SAS drives work without configuration changes.

How can I verify the 6Gbps link is active after connecting the four SFF8482 ends?

Check the RAID controller BIOS or OS utility — each drive should report a 6Gbps negotiated link rate if the drives and controller both support it.
