SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Reversed Mini SAS 36Pin SFF8087 Male to 4 SATA 7Pin Female Cable

SKU CH-1XDR-EYVV4

A reversed breakout cable connects a 36-pin SFF8087 male target to four SATA female hosts for custom server storage layouts

  • Reversed signal flow enables SAS drive to SATA host connectivity
  • SFF8087 36pin male target input breaks out to four SATA 7pin female outputs
  • Shielded wiring maintains stable highspeed SAS SATA data transfer
  • Compact internal harness suits custom server builds and modified backplanes
  • Designed for nonstandard RAID controller setups and enterprise storage layouts

Reversed Mini SAS 36Pin Breakout Cable

This SMUGDESK cable provides a reversed signal path with a SFF8087 36pin male target connector splitting to four SATA 7pin female host connectors. It enables data transfer from SAS drives or backplanes to SATA host controllers in enterprise storage layouts. Shielded internal wiring supports stable high-speed operation for HDDs, SSDs and RAID systems. The compact harness suits custom server builds and modified backplane designs.

Suited for reverse signal server storage layouts

Builders configuring nonstandard RAID controllers or custom backplanes where the SAS side acts as the target will use this reversed breakout. It is not intended for standard host-to-drive SAS connections where the controller provides the SFF8087 interface. Buyers needing a conventional forward-direction Mini SAS to SATA cable should select a different wiring arrangement. The specialised pinout limits use to specific reverse-topology deployments.

Reversed SFF8087 target to SATA host wiring

The defining specification is the reversed pinout that routes signals from a Mini SAS 36pin male target input to four SATA female host outputs. This opposite direction compared to typical breakout cables determines compatibility with unique server storage architectures. Shielded construction maintains signal integrity across the harness for reliable long-term operation in demanding environments.

Questions about this item

Which reversed breakout cable version should I choose for a SFF8087 target input?

This SMUGDESK cable provides a single SFF8087 36pin male target connector splitting to four SATA 7pin female host connectors, matching the reversed layout described.

What does the reversed signal direction mean once installed in a server?

It routes data from SAS drives on the target side to a SATA host controller, enabling nonstandard backplane or RAID configurations.

What interface standard does the SFF8087 connector cap in practice?

The SFF8087 Mini SAS interface handles SAS and SATA protocols, so the link speed follows the host controller and drive capabilities.
