Mini SAS SFF-8087 connector branching to four SATA plugs, 1 metre shielded cable

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF-8087 to SATA Forward Breakout Cable 1M

SKU CH-77TS-XEZZ8

Connects SFF-8087 Mini-SAS RAID or HBA controllers to 2.5 or 3.5 SATA HDDs and SSDs with 1 meter shielded, gold-plated cabling for stable high-speed data transfer

  • Connects Mini-SAS RAID controller directly to SATA drives using SFF-8087 forward breakout wiring
  • 1 meter length enables tidy internal routing while preserving chassis airflow
  • Multi-layer shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference for stable high-speed data transmission
  • Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation and molded connectors prevent loosening under vibration
  • Compatible with 2.5 and 3.5 SATA HDD or SSD for server, NAS and surveillance storage expansion

Server Storage Expansion Cable

This SMUGDESK forward breakout cable connects a Mini-SAS RAID or HBA controller with an SFF-8087 port to up to four SATA hard drives or solid-state drives. It is built for internal storage expansion inside servers, NAS enclosures and surveillance recording systems requiring direct drive attachment.

Check Controller and Drive Compatibility

Verify that your host controller card features an SFF-8087 Mini-SAS receptacle and supports forward breakout wiring to SATA targets. Confirm the target drives use standard SATA interfaces; this cable does not carry power, so each drive still requires a separate power connection from the system power supply.

Shielded Construction for Continuous Operation

Multi-layer shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference and signal crosstalk from adjacent components during 24/7 workloads. Gold-plated contact pins resist oxidation for reliable conductivity, while injection-molded connector shells reinforce the mating interface against vibration-induced disconnection. The 1 metre (3.3 feet) length allows tidy internal routing without restricting chassis airflow.

Questions about this item

What comes with the cable and is any extra hardware required to connect it to my SATA drives?

The package contains the 1 meter SFF‑8087 to SATA forward breakout cable itself. No additional adapters or brackets are needed — the four SATA connectors plug directly into 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA HDDs or SSDs.

Should I choose a different length or connector type for my server chassis?

This model is only offered in the 1 meter (3.3 ft) length with a standard SFF‑8087 Mini‑SAS plug on the host side and four SATA plugs on the drive side. If your backplane or controller uses a different Mini‑SAS pinout or you need a longer run, a different cable would be required.

What real‑world throughput can I expect when the cable links my RAID card to four SATA SSDs?

The cable passes the native SATA 6 Gb/s signal from each drive to the controller without adding latency. Sustained read/write speeds will match the limits of the individual SATA SSDs and the RAID/HBA card, not the cable itself.
