- Connect RAID controller to four SAS drives via SFF-8087 host
- Each SFF-8482 target delivers data and power in one connector
- 3 ft length fits typical server chassis layouts
- Integrated Molex 4-pin power simplifies drive identification
- Compatible with LSI 9207-8i, Adaptec 6405E and HP P410 controllers
Internal SAS fan-out cable
This 3.3ft cable connects a Mini SAS SFF-8087 host controller to four SAS hard drives using SFF-8482 connectors. It is built for storage administrators expanding a SAN or DAS array with a forward fan-out design. Each of the four target connections carries both data and power through the integrated Molex 4-pin leads. The 36-pin host side plugs directly into compatible RAID or HBA cards.
Sustained drive connectivity
The cable maintains a continuous link between the controller and each attached drive during extended rebuilds, backups or parity checks. Molded strain relief on the 29-pin and 36-pin ends resists signal degradation when the chassis vibrates under heavy spindle activity. Separate Molex feeds let the power supply deliver current to every drive without daisy-chain voltage drop. This construction supports reliable throughput for multi-drive workloads.
Verify controller and backplane match
Confirm your RAID or HBA card presents a Mini SAS SFF-8087 port before ordering. The target backplane or drive cage must accept four discrete SFF-8482 29-pin connectors with combined data and power. Ensure the power supply has four free Molex 4-pin leads for the integrated power tails. Cable routing space of 3.3ft between the controller slot and the drive bays is required.

Questions about this item
Does the 1 m cable run hot or draw noticeable power when all four SFF-8482 drives are active all day?
The cable is passive copper with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power of its own; only the drives and the Molex-fed backplane consume power.
Which host connector must my controller card provide for the SFF-8087 end to plug in?
The host side requires a 36-pin SFF-8087 Mini SAS port, found on cards such as the LSI 9207-8i, Adaptec 6405E or HP Smart Array P410.
Can I keep my older SAS drives that use the 29-pin SFF-8482 interface while using this cable?
Yes, each of the four breakout ends is a 29-pin SFF-8482 connector that carries both data and power for legacy SAS drives.
