Vszerda OCuLink SFF-8611 8x to Dual SFF-8087 4x SAS cable 100 cm

SKU CH-HT4G-XNXTK

Connects an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x controller to two SFF-8087 4x backplanes at 16 Gbps over 100 cm

  • Connects OCuLink host to two SAS backplanes via dual SFF-8087 ports
  • Active latch locks each connector securely to prevent accidental disconnection
  • 16 Gbps transfer rate supports high-speed SSD and HDD arrays
  • 100 cm length provides flexible routing inside full-size chassis
  • 8-lane PCIe 80-pin design delivers full bandwidth without signal loss

OCuLink SFF-8611 8x to Dual SFF-8087 4x Cable

This active cable bridges an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x 80-pin male connector to two SFF-8087 4x 36-pin male connectors. It enables a direct link between a controller or host adapter with an OCuLink 8x port and a backplane or drive cage using SAS interfaces. The 100 cm length provides routing flexibility inside server or workstation chassis.

Suits builders linking OCuLink host ports to SAS

The cable fits systems where an 8-lane OCuLink 8x interface must drive two 4-lane SAS connections simultaneously. It is not suitable for connections requiring a single SFF-8087 target, for external mini-SAS HD cabling, or for architectures without an OCuLink 8x 80-pin source port.

Handles up to 16 Gbps across eight lanes

The active design supports data rates up to 16 Gbps over the full 8-lane width, splitting bandwidth across the two 4-lane SAS branches. Each branch delivers four lanes to attached drives or expanders. The 100 cm reach covers most mid-tower to rackmount routing paths without signal degradation.

Questions about this item

What controller interface is required to use the OCuLink SFF-8611 8x connector?

A controller with an OCuLink 8x 80-pin male interface is required to connect this cable.

Can the dual SFF-8087 4x ends attach to a legacy SAS backplane?

Yes, each SFF-8087 4x 36-pin male connector fits standard SAS backplanes using that interface.

How can I verify the active cable is passing data at the rated speed?

The active latch locks securely; confirm link status and 16 Gbps throughput in your controller BIOS or OS storage utility.
