Mini SAS 36Pin SFF-8087 breakout cable
This cable connects a RAID or PCIe controller with an SFF-8087 port to four SATA drives. It is built for system builders expanding internal storage using hardware RAID arrays. Two cables in the pack support up to eight drives across two controller lanes. It suits servers and workstations that use multi-lane SAS host bus adapters.
Passive copper cable with slim ribbon design
The flat ribbon construction reduces airflow obstruction inside the chassis. Woven mesh sheathing covers half the length for protection without adding stiffness. Acetate cloth tape at the fan-out provides strain relief at the connector junctions. No active components or external power are required for operation.
1.64 ft length with dual-cable pack
Each 0.5 metre cable reaches from a controller card to a backplane or drive cage in typical chassis layouts. Two cables enable an eight-drive array using a single dual-port adapter. The forward fan-out orientation simplifies routing to stacked drive bays. Buyers needing longer runs or right-angle connectors should verify case clearance before ordering.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the SFF-8087 male end to my RAID controller?
Plug the 36-pin SFF-8087 male connector firmly into the controller port; the four SATA female ends attach to the backplane or drives. Route the 1.64 ft ribbon carefully to avoid sharp bends.
Will the acetate cloth tape or mesh sheath degrade and need replacement?
The tape and woven mesh are passive strain relief; they do not wear out in normal operation. Replace the cable only if connectors loosen or the ribbon shows physical damage.
What throughput ceiling appears first when all four drives run sustained workloads?
Each drive is limited to 6 Gb/s by the SAS-to-SATA breakout; the host link uses PCIe 2.0 x8 lanes, so the per-drive 6 Gb/s cap is reached before the host bandwidth saturates.
