InLine Cable SAS Mini SAS SFF8087 a 4x SATA directo OCR 1 m

SAS cable Mini SAS SFF8087 (36‑pin) to 4× SATA, 1:1 assignment (straight through / reverse breakout, OCR) for connecting drives or backplanes to a host controller with four SATA connectors. Supports data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps. Check connector assignment before use to ensure compatibility with your equipment.

Advantages

This Mini SAS SFF‑8087 to 4× SATA cable provides a single-cable solution for connecting a SAS host port to up to four SATA devices with a 1:1 (reverse) pin assignment. The cable supports standard 6 Gbps SATA signaling, reduces cable clutter by replacing multiple individual SATA runs, and is suitable for rack and server environments where reliable backplane or direct‑drive connections are required.

Suitable for

• Connecting a SAS controller to up to four SATA drives (reverse breakout)
• Linking internal drive backplanes to a host with four SATA connectors when reverse assignment is required
• Server and storage chassis cabling where a Mini SAS SFF‑8087 port is available

How to use

Identify the Mini SAS SFF‑8087 port on the host controller and the SATA connectors on the drives or backplane. Connect the SFF‑8087 end to the SAS host port and plug the four SATA plugs into the corresponding drive or backplane SATA sockets. Ensure proper seating of all connectors before powering the system. Verify that the host controller and target devices support a reverse (1:1) breakout assignment; otherwise use the crossover (forward) variant if required.

Recommendations

Confirm the required pin assignment (reverse vs. forward breakout) with your equipment manufacturer or service manual before installation. Using the wrong assignment can prevent proper detection or cause connectivity issues. Handle connectors carefully to avoid bending pins and maintain secure, fully seated connections.
