Advantages

This 0.5 m Mini SAS SFF8087 to 4x SATA cable provides a direct, one-to-one assignment for straightforward connectivity between a SAS host and SATA devices. Its support for up to 6 Gbps ensures compatibility with SATA III speeds. The compact length reduces cable clutter inside systems, and the distinct red jacket simplifies identification during installation and maintenance.

How to use

Identify the Mini SAS SFF8087 port on the host controller and the SATA ports on the drives or backplane. Plug the SFF8087 end into the controller port and connect the four SATA plugs to the corresponding SATA connectors on the drives or backplane. Ensure firm seating of each connector to avoid intermittent connections. Verify that the system firmware and OS recognize the connected drives before placing the system into production.

Recommendations

Confirm the required cable assignment with your equipment vendor before installation. This product is a reverse breakout (OCR) cable; if a forward/crossover assignment (OCF) is required for your setup, use the alternate cable (MPN 27610). Using the incorrect assignment may prevent proper connection between controller and devices.
