Vszerda SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD cable 3 m 100-Ohm 26-pin

SKU CH-CA34-91FKT

3-metre SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD cable with 26-pin connectors, 100-ohm impedance and 6 Gbps SAS 2.0 support for RAID, DAS and server deployments

  • Supports 6Gbps SAS 2.0 for high-throughput storage
  • 100-Ohm twinaxial wiring minimises signal skew
  • SFF-8088 connectors fit SAS and SATA devices
  • 3-metre length suits rack-to-rack RAID deployments
  • Robust Mini-SAS assembly meets industry standards

External SAS cable for rack storage

This new Vszerda SFF-8088 Mini SAS HD cable connects external storage enclosures to RAID controllers or servers using the 26-pin interface. It carries 6Gbps SAS 2.0 traffic and remains backward compatible with 3Gbps links. The three-metre reach suits typical rack-to-rack runs in data-centre aisles.

Suited to RAID and DAS builders

The assembly fits administrators wiring direct-attached storage, JBOD shelves or tape libraries that expose SFF-8088 ports. It also serves mixed SAS and SATA device chains. Buyers needing internal board-to-backplane links or a different connector keying should look at other cable families.

Build integration notes

Each end terminates in a locking SFF-8088 plug that meets the 100-Ohm impedance spec with AWG26 twinaxial pairs. The cable carries both data and side-band signals, freeing the host from extra management wiring. Ensure the target enclosure and controller both present the external Mini SAS HD port before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does this cable need any active electronics or power source to connect two SFF-8088 ports?

No, it is a passive twinaxial assembly with 26-pin connectors on both ends and requires no external power.

Will a 3 Gbps SAS 1.0 HBA recognise the link when plugged into this 6 Gbps-rated cable?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with 3 Gbps SAS, so the HBA will negotiate the lower speed automatically.

How can I confirm the cable is operating at 6 Gbps after installation?

Check the HBA or RAID controller BIOS and OS utilities; they will report the negotiated link speed as 6 Gbps if the endpoints support it.
