SKU CH-Z438-P7XWW

Connects four SAS drives with integrated SATA power to a single mini SAS controller port over half a metre

Cable Length 3.3 Feet

  • Connect up to four SAS drives from one controller port
  • 36-pin SFF-8087 fans out to four 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors
  • Each drive receives data and power through its own 15-pin SATA power lead
  • 6 Gbps per channel keeps storage traffic moving
  • Half-metre length fits tight server chassis cleanly

Connecting SAS drives to a single controller

This 0.5 metre cable links four SFF-8482 SAS drives to one SFF-8087 host port. Each branch carries both data and power through a 29-pin connector. It supports up to 6 Gbps per channel and is listed as compatible with several IBM ServeRAID controllers including the MR10i, MR10il, MR10is, BR10i, BR10il, BR10il v2 and M1015.

Check controller port and drive connectors

Verify that your SAS controller provides a 36-pin SFF-8087 internal mini-SAS socket. Confirm each target drive uses a 29-pin SFF-8482 interface. Ensure a free SATA 15-pin power connector from your power supply is available to feed the cable's integrated power leads. Measure the 0.5 metre reach against your chassis layout before ordering.

Integrated power simplifies installation

The cable bundles a SATA 15-pin power plug that draws supply directly from the PSU, removing the need for separate drive power cables. Blue jacket with black sleeves aids cable identification in dense backplanes. The single-cable design reduces clutter when populating four drive bays from one controller port.

Questions about this item

Does the cable include all four drive connectors and the SATA power plug, or do I need to buy extra adapters?

The single 0.5 m cable carries a 36-pin SFF-8087 host end and four 29-pin SFF-8482 drive ends, each with an integrated 15-pin SATA power connector, so no separate adapters are required.

The listing mentions SFF-8082 and SFF-8482 — which connector actually ships on the drive side?

The drive ends are 29-pin SFF-8482 connectors; the SFF-8082 reference in the description is a typo.

Will the stated 6 Gbps per channel be achieved with a 1.64 ft cable on a typical backplane?

The 0.5 m length is well within SAS signal specifications, so each of the four channels can run at the rated 6 Gbps when paired with a compatible controller and drives.
