SMUGDESK Mini SAS SFF8087 to SAS HD SFF8088 Cable .5m 28AWG 10 Ohm

SKU CH-TG7Y-JB516

Connects internal Mini SAS SFF8087 to external SAS HD SFF8088 at 6Gbps with 28AWG copper and 10 Ohm impedance over .5m

  • Connects internal SFF8087 to external SFF8088 for server storage expansion
  • 28AWG copper with 10 Ohm impedance ensures low-loss 6Gbps signal integrity
  • .5m compact length enables tidy wiring in dense server or NAS builds
  • Heavy-duty shielding cuts crosstalk and EMI for enterprise-grade stability
  • Supports reliable 6Gbps bandwidth for HDD, SSD and RAID array data transfer

Internal-to-external SAS link

This cable bridges a Mini SAS SFF8087 internal port to a SAS HD SFF8088 external port. It is built for administrators expanding server or NAS storage across chassis boundaries. The half-metre length keeps mixed internal and external wiring tidy in compact enclosures.

6Gbps bandwidth and 10 Ohm impedance

28AWG copper conductors with a tightly controlled 10 Ohm impedance deliver stable 6Gbps throughput for hard drives, solid-state drives and RAID arrays. Shielding is engineered to suppress crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense rack environments. Signal integrity is preserved over the short run without active equalisation.

Shielded construction for dense racks

Heavy-duty anti-interference wrapping reduces signal attenuation when cables are routed alongside power feeds and other high-speed links. The compact form factor eases cable management in tight server bays and external drive shelves. No additional drivers or software are required; the assembly is a passive physical interconnect.

Questions about this item

What does the 6Gbps rating mean once the cable is installed in a server?

The cable supports up to 6Gbps SAS data transfer between an internal SFF8087 port and an external SFF8088 port, allowing HDDs, SSDs or RAID arrays to run at their native link speed without the cable becoming a bottleneck.

Which interface standard does the SFF8087 to SFF8088 connection use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses the SAS interface; the SFF8087 plug connects to an internal controller while the SFF8088 plug connects to an external enclosure, and the 6Gbps bandwidth ceiling is set by the SAS signalling rate the cable is built for.

What physical space and connectors are needed to fit this 0.5m cable?

You need an internal Mini SAS SFF8087 header and an external SAS HD SFF8088 bulkhead or port; the half-metre length is designed for tight internal-to-external routing in compact servers or NAS chassis.
