MiniSAS-kabel CBO CBL-SFF8088SAS-10M-BL 1 m male-to-male SFF-8088

BlueOptics MiniSAS cable CBL-SFF8088SAS-10M-BL is a 1 m Male-to-Male SFF-8088 cable designed to connect SAS and SATA storage devices, external enclosures, RAID controllers and backplanes. The cable provides a compact, high-density serial connection that supports reliable short-distance data transfer and storage expansion in server racks, workstations and external storage arrays.

Advantages

This MiniSAS SFF-8088 cable delivers a secure, low-profile connection with shielding to minimise interference and preserve signal integrity. Its male-to-male SFF-8088 terminations ensure straightforward compatibility with common SAS controllers and external storage enclosures. The 1 m length offers flexibility for tidy internal or external routing while reducing excess cable slack in rack or desktop environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting external SAS enclosures to RAID controllers or host adapters
• Linking backplanes to SAS expanders or controllers within server chassis
• Short-distance storage expansion between servers, JBODs and workstations
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFF-8088 male-to-male connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: Male SFF-8088 to Male SFF-8088
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable use: SAS/SATA external high-density serial connection
• Application: External or internal enclosure, RAID controller and backplane interconnects
• Design: Shielded high-density cable for reduced electromagnetic interference

How to use

Insert each male SFF-8088 connector into the corresponding SFF-8088 port on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connector orientation aligns with the port guide. Securely seat both ends until they click or fit snugly; avoid forcing the connector. Route the 1 m cable to minimise sharp bends and keep it clear of high-heat components and moving parts. For external enclosures, confirm both devices are powered down when making the physical connection if the equipment manufacturer recommends doing so.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable for short runs up to 1 m and avoid repeated flexing near the connector ends. Ensure connectors and ports are free of dust before connection and maintain proper cable management in racks to prevent strain on the SFF-8088 terminations.
