SFF-8088 to SFF-8087 SAS cable

This 12Gbps cable bridges an external SFF-8088 26-pin port to an internal SFF-8087 36-pin connector. It lets administrators link an external SAS enclosure or JBOD directly to a server backplane or RAID controller without an intermediate adapter.

Suits direct server-to-enclosure links

Builders who need to connect an internal SAS controller to an external drive shelf will find the pin-out match they need. Installers requiring a different pin count, a longer reach than the listed lengths, or a non-SAS protocol should look at other cable types.

No bundled accessories or software

The package contains only the cable assembly itself. No brackets, screws, driver discs or management utilities are included, so the installer must supply any mounting hardware or configuration tools required by the host system.

Questions about this item

Do I need a controller or HBA with an SFF-8087 36-pin port to use this cable?

Yes, one end plugs into an internal SFF-8087 36-pin SAS connector on a controller or backplane, so that port must be present.

Will this 12 Gbps cable work with my older 6 Gbps SAS drives and backplane?

It will connect physically, and the link will negotiate down to the lowest common speed supported by both ends.

How can I verify the link is running at 12 Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for the negotiated link speed; it should report 12 Gbps per lane when all devices support it.
