SMUGDESK
SMUGDESK Mini SAS SFF8087 to SFF8482 Cable with SATA Power 1m 30AWG 12Gbps
Connects a Mini SAS SFF8087 host to an SFF8482 drive with integrated SATA power for 12Gbps SAS 3.0 data transmission
- Connects Mini SAS SFF8087 to SFF8482 drives for internal server storage
- Integrated SATA power line powers drives directly, reducing internal cable clutter
- 30AWG pure copper wire supports stable 12Gbps SAS 3.0 data transmission
- Server-grade shielded harness minimises signal loss and crosstalk for reliable operation
- 1m length (39.37in) suits medium-distance routing in rackmount servers and RAID arrays
Internal SAS Cable with Integrated Power
The SMUGDESK cable connects a Mini SAS SFF8087 host port to an SFF8482 SAS drive interface inside servers and storage arrays. A built-in SATA power line supplies the drive, reducing the number of separate cables required for each bay. It targets administrators building or servicing high-density SAS or SATA storage systems.
12Gbps Bandwidth and Shielding Limits
The 30AWG pure copper conductors support the SAS 3.0 standard at 12Gbps for stable high-speed data transmission. Server-grade shielding reduces signal attenuation and crosstalk over the harness length. The practical limit is the 12Gbps ceiling of the SAS 3.0 interface; the cable does not extend performance beyond that specification.
One-Metre Reach for Rackmount Layouts
The 1m length suits medium-distance routing inside rackmount chassis, backplanes and RAID enclosures. It comfortably handles connections between adjacent controllers and drive bays in standard server depths. Runs that exceed this distance or require sharp bends beyond the harness flexibility will need a longer or differently routed assembly.

Questions about this item
Which connector combination do I need for my server backplane?
This cable joins a Mini SAS SFF8087 host port to an SFF8482 drive connector and includes a SATA power lead, so it suits backplanes that expose both interfaces.
What does the 12Gbps rating mean for drive throughput?
The 12Gbps figure matches SAS 3.0 lane speed, allowing each attached SAS or SATA drive to run at its native 12Gbps or 6Gbps limit without cable bottleneck.
How does the SAS 3.0 interface cap real-world performance?
SAS 3.0 caps each lane at 12Gbps, so a single SFF8482 drive cannot exceed that rate; total bandwidth scales with the number of lanes your controller provides.
