SMUGDESK
SMUGDESK MiniSAS SFF8088 26Pin to 4×SAS SFF8482 29Pin Breakout Cable with Power Cable, 2M/6.6FT, 2PCS
Converts a 26-pin SFF8088 port to four 29-pin SFF8482 SAS ports with integrated power, 6.6ft length for server storage expansion
- 2-pack converts one MiniSAS SFF8088 26pin port to four SFF8482 29pin SAS ports
- Integrated power cable supplies SAS drives directly, removing separate power cords
- 2M/6.6FT length enables tidy routing inside rackmount servers and storage arrays
- High-speed transmission optimised for RAID controllers and enterprise storage systems
- Durable internal-grade construction built for long-term multidrive storage deployments
MiniSAS breakout cable kit
The SMUGDESK two-pack converts a single SFF8088 26pin MiniSAS port into four SFF8482 29pin SAS connections with integrated power leads. Each 2M/6.6FT cable links RAID controllers or HBAs directly to multiple SAS hard drives or SSDs inside servers, workstations and NAS enclosures. Builders expanding internal storage arrays use these cables to avoid separate power routing.
Sustained data transfer stability
Shielded construction and fixed pin assignments keep signal integrity consistent across all four lanes during continuous RAID rebuilds, parity checks or bulk data migrations. The built-in power delivery maintains steady voltage to every attached drive without voltage drop that can occur with daisy-chained adapters. Enterprise workloads benefit from the cable's ability to handle constant multidrive I/O without intermittent link errors.
SAS interface practical limits
The SFF8088 to SFF8482 breakout supports standard SAS signalling rates but cannot exceed the controller's native lane bandwidth or the drive's maximum negotiated speed. Cable length at two metres is within specification for internal chassis routing yet long enough to introduce minimal latency in high-queue-depth scenarios. Users needing external enclosure connections or longer runs must select different connector types not provided in this kit.

Questions about this item
How much heat or power draw should I expect from the SFF8088 breakout cable during continuous all-day operation?
The cable itself is passive and adds negligible heat or power draw; the integrated power connectors simply pass through supply current to the attached SAS drives.
What existing connector must my RAID controller or backplane provide for the SFF8088 end to plug in?
Your controller or backplane needs a single SFF8088 26pin MiniSAS port for each breakout cable in the pack.
Will the SFF8482 29pin outputs work with older SAS hard drives that use the same interface?
Yes, each of the four SFF8482 29pin connectors carries both data and power for legacy SAS HDDs or SSDs that use that interface.
