Two 0.5m SFF-8087 to four SFF-8482 breakout cables with SATA power branches

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF-8087 to 4×SFF-8482 SAS cable 0.5m 2-pack

SKU CH-CWE1-RYE6C

Connects one Mini SAS port to four SAS drives with integrated SATA power for simpler server cabling

  • 5 m length reduces internal cable clutter and improves chassis airflow
  • SFF-8087 splits to four SFF-8482 ports for simultaneous four-drive SAS connections
  • Integrated SATA power branch supplies stable power directly without extra splitters
  • Multi-layer shielding blocks electromagnetic interference for lossless long-term data transmission
  • Two-cable pack supports multiple server deployments and redundant storage configurations

Server storage cabling

This 0.5m Mini SAS breakout cable connects a single SFF-8087 port on a RAID or HBA controller to four SFF-8482 drive bays. The integrated SATA power branch delivers electricity directly to each hard disk, removing the need for separate power splitters inside the chassis. Two cables are included for multi-drive deployments or spare inventory.

Airflow and reach limits

The 1.6ft length is intended for short internal runs within a server cabinet; longer distances will exceed the physical reach of this assembly. Electromagnetic shielding protects signal integrity on the SAS lanes, but the copper conductors and SATA power wires are not rated for external routing or high-flex applications.

Four drives per cable

Each assembly powers and connects up to four 2.5in or 3.5in SAS or SATA hard drives simultaneously. The SATA power connector draws from the host system supply, so total drive count is limited by available power headers and backplane slots rather than the cable itself. The 24/7 rated construction supports continuous operation until drive density or chassis space is exhausted.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the two-cable pack or look for a single cable?

The pack includes two identical 0.5 metre cables so you can connect up to eight drives across two controllers or keep one as a spare.

What does the 0.5 metre length mean once the cable is routed inside my server?

At 0.5 metres (1.6 feet) the cable reaches from a RAID card to nearby drive bays without excess slack, helping airflow and making cable management easier.

Will the SFF-8087 to four SFF-8482 connectors work with my SAS backplane?

Yes, the SFF-8087 plug breaks out to four SFF-8482 ports, each carrying a SAS lane, so the cable connects a single controller port to four SAS or SATA drives on a backplane.
