SAS Cable DeLOCK 83073 0.1 m Black Red

The DeLOCK SAS cable 0.1 m with SFF 8087 connectors on both ends is designed for internal server and storage connections where a short, reliable link is required. Its compact length makes it suitable for tight rack spaces and dense drive enclosures. The cable combines a two-tone black and red jacket for easy visual identification and a robust connector design that supports stable Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) data transmission between host adapters and storage backplanes or drive cages.

Advantages

This short SAS cable provides consistent high-speed data transfer and minimizes signal degradation over the 0.1 m span. Dual SFF 8087 connectors on both ends allow straightforward mating with compatible SAS controllers and backplanes. The compact form factor reduces cable clutter inside server chassis and improves airflow. The colour-coded jacket helps with quick channel identification during installation or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS host bus adapters to drive backplanes in servers
• Linking storage enclosures and hot-swap drive cages
• Short internal connections in rackmount or tower servers
• Environments where space is limited and cable routing must be tight

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.1 m
• Connector type (both ends): SFF 8087
• Applicable interface: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
• Outer colour: black with red accents
• Design: internal, low-profile cable for server/storage use

How to use

Identify the SFF 8087 ports on the host adapter and the target backplane or enclosure. Align each connector with the port and insert gently until the retention mechanism engages. Ensure the cable path does not obstruct fans or drive rails and that bends exceed the minimum bend radius to avoid stress. After installation, verify the server BIOS or RAID controller utility recognises connected drives and perform any required hardware or firmware checks.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable only for internal SAS connections and avoid repeated flexing near the connector ends. Maintain clear airflow by routing the cable alongside chassis features, and replace the cable if connectors show visible wear or if data errors appear during diagnostics.
