Internal Mini SAS to 4×SATA Cable DELOCK 1 m — Mini SAS SFF-8087 to 4×SATA 7-pin, Black/Silver/Yellow

DELOCK internal Mini SAS to 4×SATA cable, 1 m, provides a compact internal connection between a Mini SAS SFF-8087 port and four SATA 7‑pin drives. The cable converts a single Mini SAS link into four individual SATA connections, making it suitable for connecting SAS/RAID host adapters or backplanes to multiple SATA HDDs or SSDs inside a PC or server. The outer jacket is color-coded in black, silver and yellow to aid routing and drive identification.

Advantages

This 1 m reverse breakout cable supports straightforward internal wiring from a Mini SAS SFF-8087 interface to up to four SATA devices, reducing the need for multiple separate cables. The metal clip design on the SATA connectors ensures a secure snap-in connection to drive ports, while the single Mini SAS connector keeps the host-side cabling neat. Colour-coded outer jacket simplifies installation and drive bay management in multi-drive systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting a SAS/RAID controller or backplane with Mini SAS SFF-8087 to multiple SATA HDDs or SSDs
• Internal drive arrays and storage expansion inside desktop workstations or rack servers
• Systems requiring tidy internal cabling and easy drive identification using colour-coded jackets

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector 1: Mini SAS SFF-8087 (internal)
• Connector 2: 4 × SATA 7‑pin (internal) with metal clip
• Outer jacket colours: Black, Silver, Yellow
• Function: Reverse breakout from Mini SAS to four SATA ports for internal use

How to use

Connect the Mini SAS SFF-8087 plug to the host adapter or backplane Mini SAS port, ensuring correct orientation and a firm seating. Route the cable inside the chassis to each drive bay and insert each SATA 7‑pin connector into the corresponding SATA drive port until the metal clip engages. Use gentle cable routing to avoid sharp bends and ensure adequate airflow around storage devices. Verify that the host controller recognises each connected drive in system firmware or operating system storage utilities.

Recommendations

Use this cable for internal connections only; it is not intended for external use. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and maintain proper strain relief. If installing in servers or dense arrays, plan cable routing to preserve airflow and ease future drive replacement.
