InLine SAS Cable Mini SAS SFF8087 to 4x SATA direct OCR 0.75m

The InLine Mini SAS SFF8087 to 4x SATA cable (0.75 m, red) provides a direct, 1:1 assignment connection from a Mini SAS port to four SATA devices. It supports data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps and is intended for connecting drives or backplanes to a host controller with four SATA connectors. The cable uses a reverse breakout (straight through / OCR) wiring; ensure the connector assignment matches your equipment before use.

Advantages

This Mini SAS SFF8087 to 4x SATA cable offers a compact 0.75 m length and a clearly visible red jacket for easy identification. It supports up to 6 Gbps per channel for SATA devices and provides a one-to-one (1:1) assignment for reliable, predictable connections between a Mini SAS port and four SATA targets. The reverse breakout wiring avoids the need for additional adapters when the host controller and connected devices require a straight-through assignment.

Suitable for

• Connecting Mini SAS SFF8087 host ports to up to four SATA drives
• Directly wiring SATA drives to compatible backplanes or drive cages
• Server and storage installations where a 1:1 (reverse breakout) assignment is required
• High-density storage enclosures and RAID setups with compatible controller wiring

How to use

Connect the Mini SAS SFF-8087 plug to the host controller or backplane Mini SAS port and connect the four SATA plugs to the SATA devices or host SATA connectors according to the required assignment. Verify that the system expects a reverse breakout (SAS controller to SATA drives) before powering the system. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Confirm the cable assignment with your equipment documentation: if your hardware requires a crossover (forward, OCF) assignment instead of a reverse breakout, use the corresponding cable (e.g., InLine 27610). Only the correct assignment ensures proper connectivity between controller and drives.
