Server storage expansion cable

This SMUGDESK fanout cable converts a single SFF8087 36pin Mini SAS male port into four SATA 7pin female connectors. It enables multi-drive attachment for RAID controllers, NAS appliances and enterprise storage hardware inside rackmount servers.

Replaces direct backplane links

The 3.3ft length suits internal routing where a backplane or adapter presents one SFF8087 port but the build needs four separate SATA drives. The jump is worth it when expanding drive count without adding another controller card.

Plug-and-play internal routing

Installation is a simple push-fit on both ends; no drivers or configuration are required. What usually goes wrong is seating the high-density 36pin connector incompletely, which can cause intermittent drive detection until fully latched.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 36pin SFF8087 connector need inside a server chassis?

The straight male plug requires enough depth for the 3.3ft cable bend radius behind the backplane; allow a few centimetres so the latch clears adjacent cards.

Which end plugs in first when building a RAID array with this fanout cable?

Seat the single SFF8087 male end into the controller or backplane port before attaching the four SATA 7pin female ends to the drives.

How often should the copper cores be inspected in a multi-drive NAS deployment?

Check the connectors and cable jacket during each drive swap or annual maintenance; replace the assembly if any pin shows corrosion or the sheath is cracked.
