Mini SAS cable SFF-8087 to SFF-8088, 2 metre length, shielded copper construction

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS SFF8087 to SFF8088 Cable 28AWG 10ohm 2m

SKU CH-ZF05-JNNKD

Connects internal SFF8087 ports to external SFF8088 interfaces with 10ohm impedance control, 28AWG copper conductors, and 6Gbps SAS bandwidth over a 2metre shielded run

  • Connect internal SFF8087 to external SFF8088 for storage expansion
  • Precise 10ohm impedance maintains signal integrity for enterprise performance
  • 28AWG copper conductors support reliable 6Gbps SAS data transfer
  • 2meter length enables flexible routing between servers and JBOD enclosures
  • Heavy shielding minimises electromagnetic interference for continuous operation

Internal-to-external SAS conversion

This cable connects an internal SFF-8087 port to an external SFF-8088 interface, enabling storage expansion between servers and JBOD enclosures. It is built for administrators who need a reliable link for 6Gbps SAS drives and RAID arrays across a two-metre run.

Suits rack-to-enclosure wiring.

The SFF-8088 end mates with external multi-lane ports on enclosures or HBAs, so it fits rackmount-to-JBOD deployments. Builders who need to plug a single drive directly into a backplane or who require an internal-only SFF-8087-to-SFF-8087 link should choose a different cable.

6Gbps bandwidth over two metres

The 28AWG copper conductors and strict 10ohm impedance keep the signal clean at full 6Gbps speed across the full length. Heavy shielding resists EMI in dense racks, though the fixed two-metre reach may be excessive for short internal runs and cannot be shortened without re-termination.

Highlights

  • Connect internal SFF8087 to external SFF8088 for storage expansion
  • Precise 10ohm impedance maintains signal integrity for enterprise performance
  • 28AWG copper conductors support reliable 6Gbps SAS data transfer
  • 2meter length enables flexible routing between servers and JBOD enclosures
  • Heavy shielding minimises electromagnetic interference for continuous operation

Questions about this item

What internal SAS port must my server have for the SFF-8087 end of this cable to fit?

The server needs an internal Mini SAS SFF-8087 connector; this cable plugs directly into that port to reach an external enclosure.

Will the SFF-8088 end work with an older 3Gbps external JBOD enclosure?

Yes, the SFF-8088 interface is backward compatible; the link will negotiate down to 3Gbps while the 10ohm impedance and shielding maintain signal integrity.

How can I verify the 6Gbps link is active after connecting the 2m cable?

Check the RAID controller BIOS or OS driver logs for a negotiated 6Gbps link speed on each attached drive; error-free SMART data confirms clean operation.
