One-metre black cable with SFF-8088 26-pin male connectors both ends

Vszerda

Vszerda Mini SAS SFF-8088 Male to Male Cable 1.0m 26pin 3.0 Gbps

SKU CH-9JNZ-GH6M0

Connects external Mini SAS 26-pin SFF-8088 ports at 3.0 Gbps over a 1.0 m cable

  • Connect external storage at 3.0 Gbps with SFF-8088 interface
  • Secure locking plugs prevent accidental disconnection during operation
  • One metre length fits standard rack-to-rack deployments
  • Backwards compatible with SATA devices for mixed environments
  • 26-pin design supports high-throughput data centre workloads

Mini SAS SFF-8088 external cable

This 1.0 m cable carries two SFF-8088 male plugs with release rings on each end. It provides a direct link between external SAS enclosures, controllers or host bus adapters. The assembly is rated for 3.0 Gbps signalling and is built new for immediate deployment.

Suits external SAS links only

It connects external Mini SAS ports on storage arrays, JBODs or RAID cards that use the SFF-8088 interface. The cable will not work with internal backplanes or controllers that require a different connector form factor, nor with devices that lack an external Mini SAS port.

Single-lane 3.0 Gbps Mini SAS spec

The cable guarantees 3.0 Gbps per lane across its 26-pin SFF-8088 interface. That bandwidth ceiling determines whether the link can saturate your SAS or SATA drives, so verify the controller and drive speeds before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.0 Gbps rating mean for real transfer speeds?

The cable is rated for 3.0 Gbps per lane, so actual throughput depends on how many lanes your controller and backplane use.

Which SAS standard does the SFF-8088 connector follow, and what speed does it cap at?

The SFF-8088 connector follows the SAS 3.0 Gbps standard, limiting each lane to 3.0 Gbps.

What clearance do the release-ring plugs need to fit side by side?

Each end has an external 26-pin SFF-8088 male plug with a release ring; allow enough space for the ring to be squeezed when inserting or removing.
