Slim SAS 38P to Mini SAS 36P Cable

This cable connects a Slim SAS 38-pin SFF-8654 port to a Mini SAS 36-pin SFF-8087 port in server storage configurations. It is built for administrators linking backplanes or controllers that use the newer 38-pin connector to legacy 36-pin endpoints. The black cable ships new in 50 cm or 100 cm lengths.

12 Gbps SAS bandwidth support

The single specification that determines fit is the rated 12 Gbps bandwidth across the SAS interface. This matches SAS-3 controller and backplane speeds, so the cable will not bottleneck drives or RAID cards operating at that signalling rate. Both length options carry the same bandwidth rating.

Suits builders upgrading to SFF-8654 backplanes

The cable suits integrators moving to 38-pin Slim SAS infrastructure while retaining 36-pin Mini SAS devices or HBAs. It is not for buyers who need a native 38-pin to 38-pin link, nor for installations that require an 8087-to-8087 connection. External or ruggedised deployments should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does 12 Gbps bandwidth mean for real server storage performance?

The cable supports 12 Gbps SAS signalling, so it can carry full SAS-3 throughput between a SFF-8654 backplane and a SFF-8087 RAID controller without bottlenecking 12 Gbps drives.

Which connector standard is on each end, and what speed does that interface cap at?

One end is a 38-pin SFF-8654 Slim SAS connector and the other is a 36-pin SFF-8087 Mini SAS connector, both rated for 12 Gbps SAS traffic.

What physical space is needed to route and mount the 50 cm or 100 cm cable inside a chassis?

The cable weighs 60 g and comes in 50 cm or 100 cm lengths; its slim SFF-8654 end fits tight backplanes while the SFF-8087 end plugs standard RAID cards.
