InLine SAS Connector Cable Mini SAS SFF8087 to 4x SATA Crossover OCF 1m

The InLine Mini SAS SFF-8087 to 4x SATA crossover cable (OCF), 1 m, provides a compact solution for connecting a controller with a Mini SAS SFF-8087 port to up to four SATA drives or a backplane. This cable uses a crossover (forward, OCF) pin assignment and is intended for setups that require the specific wiring mapping between the SFF-8087 connector and the SATA connectors. Cable length is 1 m and the cable is red.

Advantages

This Mini SAS SFF8087 to 4x SATA crossover cable supports high-speed data transfer and simplifies connection of multiple SATA drives to a single SFF-8087 port. The crossover (OCF) assignment enables compatibility with controllers and backplanes that expect the forward wiring mapping. Its compact 1 m length is suitable for internal cabinet routing while maintaining signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting a controller with Mini SAS SFF-8087 port to up to four SATA drives
• Linking drive backplanes to a host adapter that requires OCF (crossover/forward) wiring
• Internal PC or server cabling where a 1 m Mini SAS to SATA break-out is needed

How to use

Identify the SFF-8087 port on your controller or host adapter and the SATA ports on the drives or backplane. Connect the Mini SAS SFF-8087 male end to the controller port and attach the four SATA connectors to the individual drive or backplane SATA ports. Ensure connectors are fully seated. Power must be provided to the drives separately; this cable carries only data signals. Verify that the system or controller supports the crossover (OCF) assignment before booting.

Recommendations

Check the required pin assignment for your controller or backplane before purchase. If your equipment requires a straight 1:1 (reverse, OCR) mapping instead of crossover (OCF), use the corresponding InLine cable (e.g., part number 27620 or 27620A) to ensure proper operation.
