SKU CH-TK6G-NRVFX

A single SFF-8087 Mini-SAS 36-pin port splits into four SATA 7-pin connectors for connecting multiple SATA drives to RAID controller cards, with shielded wiring for reliable server data transmission

  • Converts one SFF-8087 port into four SATA 7-pin connections
  • Shielded wiring reduces interference for stable server data transmission
  • Compatible with RAID controllers featuring internal SFF-8087 connectors
  • Enables SATA HDD and SSD expansion on Mini-SAS host adapters
  • Carries data signals only; separate SATA power cables required for drives

SFF-8087 to 4 SATA breakout cable

This SFF-8087 Mini SAS cable splits one 36-pin 4i connector into four SATA 7-pin data ports. It connects RAID controller cards or host adapters to multiple SATA drives for server storage expansion. The shielded construction reduces interference for reliable signal transmission. It is built for professional server, storage chassis and DIY RAID projects.

Data-only connection — no power delivery

Suitable for administrators linking SATA HDDs or SSDs to internal SFF-8087 RAID ports in file servers, NAS units or storage workstations. Buyers who need a single cable to carry both data and power should look elsewhere, as this assembly transmits only SAS and SATA signals. It also does not fit external SFF-8088 ports, so controllers with that interface require a different cable.

Shielded wiring for sustained server workloads

Optimised shielding minimises attenuation and crosstalk during continuous read and write operations in multi-drive arrays. The 1-to-4 breakout maintains independent data paths to each drive under heavy I/O without signal degradation. Performance stays consistent across all four SATA links during prolonged RAID rebuilds or bulk transfers.

Questions about this item

What additional cables do I need to power the SATA drives connected through the SFF-8087 breakout?

Separate SATA power cables from your power supply are required for each HDD or SSD because this cable carries only the 36-pin SAS data signals.

Can I use this SFF-8087 cable with an older RAID card that has an SFF-8088 external port instead?

No, the 36-pin SFF-8087 connector fits internal Mini-SAS 4i ports only; it will not mate with the external SFF-8088 interface on that card.

How do I verify the cable is transmitting data correctly after connecting four drives to the RAID controller?

All four drives should appear in the RAID controller BIOS or operating system disk manager without errors, confirming the SATA 7-pin data links are active.
