SAS Cable BlueOptics BLIS8787-100CM 1m 6 Gbit/s SFF-8087

The BlueOptics BLIS8787-100CM SAS Cable is a 1 m Serial Attached SCSI connection cable engineered for reliable 6 Gbit/s data transfer between SAS devices. Designed with SFF-8087 connectors, this cable meets CE, FCC and RoHS compliance requirements and is supplied in a polybag. With a lightweight construction and industry-standard interface, it is intended for use in data centers, server racks and storage systems where compact, high-speed internal SAS links are required.

Advantages

This 1 m SAS cable supports transfer rates up to 6 Gbit/s and uses SFF-8087 connectors for compatibility with a wide range of host bus adapters and backplanes. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS ensures it meets regulatory and environmental standards. The cable's 1 m length balances reach and manageability in dense rack environments, and its lightweight build simplifies installation and cable routing in server cabinets.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal SAS host bus adapters to drive backplanes in servers
• Establishing links between RAID controllers and storage enclosures
• Replacing or extending existing internal SAS connections in data center equipment
• Compact server and high-density rack installations requiring 1 m cable length

• Interface: SFF-8087 (internal SAS)
• Length: 1 metre
• Maximum data rate: 6 Gbit/s
• Compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS
• Packaging: polybag
• Weight: 160 g

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected are powered down and follow server manufacturer guidelines for hot-swap or powered connections. Align the SFF-8087 connectors with the corresponding ports on the host bus adapter and backplane, then insert the connector until it seats securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain appropriate clearance from hot components and moving parts. After connection, power on the systems and verify link status in the controller firmware or operating system storage management tools.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments that conform to the stated regulatory standards and inside equipment enclosures to reduce exposure to EMI. Avoid excessive bending or strain on the connector ends, and store the cable in a dry, dust-free location when not installed. For critical storage deployments, verify compatibility with controller and backplane documentation before installation.
