External Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable

This new Vszerda cable connects two external Mini SAS SFF-8088 ports using a 26-pin male-to-male assembly. It measures 0.5 metres (1.64 feet) and uses 30AWG twinaxial conductors with eight pairs. The link is rated for 6Gbps per channel and maintains a 100-Ohm impedance for low-skew transmission. It is compliant with both 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS protocols.

Suited for short external SAS links

Administrators building or servicing server, storage or DAS enclosures that use external SFF-8088 ports will find the half-metre length convenient for rack-adjacent connections. The hot-pluggable design allows insertion without powering down. Builders who need longer reach, internal backplane connectors or a different pin count should choose another cable type.

6Gbps per channel over 0.5 metre

The single specification that determines fit is the 6Gbps per channel rating across the 0.5-metre twinax assembly. This bandwidth matches 6Gb/s SAS controllers and external enclosures, while the 100-Ohm impedance preserves signal integrity. If the target equipment requires a higher signalling rate or a longer passive run, this cable will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Do both my controller and enclosure need SFF-8088 ports for this cable to work?

Yes, each end terminates in a 26-pin SFF-8088 male connector, so both devices must present that port.

Will this cable negotiate down to 3 Gb/s if my older HBA only supports that speed?

The assembly is compliant with both 3 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s SAS protocols, so it will operate at the lower rate when required.

How can I confirm the link is running at 6 Gb/s after I connect it?

Check the HBA or RAID utility for a reported link speed of 6 Gb/s per lane on the attached port.
