Connection Layout

This cable breaks a single Mini SAS 36-pin SFF-8087 male connector into four SFF-8482 male connectors, each with an integrated SATA power port. It is built for administrators and builders who need to attach four SAS hard drives to a RAID controller that exposes an internal SFF-8087 port. The 3.3 FT length suits typical server chassis routing.

Data Rate

Each lane supports up to 6.0 Gbps, so the four-lane link can deliver the throughput expected from 6 Gbps SAS drives. The point-to-point Serial Attached SCSI topology removes the termination and ID configuration steps required by parallel SCSI. Controllers not operating at 6 Gbps will still function, but the cable will not increase their native signalling speed.

Installation Notes

The SFF-8087 end plugs into the controller and each SFF-8482 end plugs directly into a drive backplane or drive connector; the adjacent SATA power receptacle must be fed from the system power supply. A common issue is forgetting to connect the SATA power leads, which leaves the drives unpowered despite a valid data link. Verify that the controller bracket or backplane allows enough clearance for the breakout fan-out near the SFF-8087 plug.

Questions about this item

What does the 6.0 Gbps lane speed mean when the cable is connected to a RAID controller and four drives?

Each of the four lanes can transfer up to 6.0 Gbps, so the cable carries four independent 6.0 Gbps paths between the controller SFF-8087 port and the four SFF-8482 drive connectors.

Which interface standard does the SFF-8087 to SFF-8482 connection follow, and what does it limit?

The cable uses the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which caps each lane at 6.0 Gbps and provides point-to-point links from the controller to each drive.

What physical connectors and clearance does the 3.3 FT breakout cable need to fit inside a server chassis?

It requires a 36-pin SFF-8087 male port on the controller side, four 29-pin SFF-8482 male ports plus SATA power connectors on the drive side, and enough cable routing space for a 1 metre length.
