Vszerda QSFP SFF-8436 to MiniSAS SFF-8088 cable 2 m 10 Gbps 30 AWG 100 Ω 38 pin

QSFP+ SFF-8436 to SFF-8088 cable for SAS links

This two-metre passive copper cable connects a QSFP+ port (SFF-8436) to an external Mini SAS connector (SFF-8088). It carries up to 10 Gbps per channel and uses 30 AWG conductors with a 100 Ω impedance. The 38-pin male-to-female assembly is built to the QSFP MSA and SAS 3.0 specifications. It suits administrators linking switches, HBAs or storage arrays that expose those two interfaces.

Check port types and cable reach before ordering

Verify that one end of your link uses a QSFP+ (SFF-8436) receptacle and the other an SFF-8088 Mini SAS port. Confirm the 2 m length fits the rack or cabinet layout without strain. Ensure both devices support the same SAS signalling rate so the 10 Gbps per channel capability can be used. The passive design draws no external power, so no auxiliary supply is required.

Passive copper holds signal quality over the full

With 30 AWG conductors and controlled pair-to-pair skew, the cable maintains the 100 Ω impedance across the 2 m run. Low power consumption means no added heat load in dense patch panels. Compliance with the QSFP MSA and SAS 3.0 ensures consistent eye-diagram margins under sustained traffic. The assembly is intended for continuous operation in storage and networking environments.
