Vszerda SAS cable with SFF-8088 and SFF-8087 connectors, 1m length

Vszerda

Vszerda SFF-8088 to SFF-8087 SAS cable 1m 3.3ft

SKU CH-0ED3-RT0WQ

Connects external 26-pin SFF-8088 to internal 36-pin SFF-8087 for SAS or SATA storage at 6Gbps

  • Connect external and internal SAS gear with 26-pin SFF-8088 to 36-pin SFF-8087 cable
  • 6 Gbps throughput via SAS 2.0 compliant 30 AWG wiring
  • Secure external link using upgraded press-button SFF-8088 connector
  • Reliable internal retention with locking-latch SFF-8087 plug
  • Works with SAS and SATA storage arrays and drive bays

External-to-internal SAS link

This one-metre cable bridges an external 26-pin SFF-8088 Mini-SAS port to an internal 36-pin SFF-8087 Mini-SAS connector. It is built for administrators connecting external JBOD enclosures or tape libraries directly to a server backplane or HBA. The 30AWG conductors keep the assembly light enough for dense rack routing.

SAS 2.0 bandwidth ceiling

The link is specified to the SAS 2.0 standard, capping throughput at 6Gbps per lane. That ceiling applies whether the attached drives are SAS or SATA, so any faster controller or SSD will be limited by the cable rating. Longer runs or higher lane counts would need a different cable class.

Connector gender and pin count decide fit

One end is a male SFF-8088 with a push-button release; the other is a male SFF-8087 with a locking latch. Both ends are fixed, so the cable only works where the external port is 26-pin female and the internal port is 36-pin female. Builders needing female-to-female or reverse-gender wiring must choose a different assembly.
