This Mini SAS SFF8087 to 4 SFF8482 internal data and power cable is designed to connect a host controller with an SFF8087 port to four SATA drives via SFF8482 power connectors. The 1meter length provides flexible routing inside servers and storage enclosures, helping to organize internal cabling while expanding drive capacity. Key benefits Enables four SATA drives to attach to a single SFF8087 host port, supporting compact 4disk storage configurations. Reduces cable clutter in tight server racks with a single 1 m run between controller and drives. Durable, reliable connectors and molded housing built for server environments. Broad compatibility with typical SFF8087 host adapters and SATA drives that use SFF8482 power connectors. Key attributes Interface: SFF8087 to 4 x SFF8482 Length: 1 meter Type: internal data and power cable for server storage Application: internal expansion for servers, JBOD configurations, drive backplanes Material/Construction: quality connectors and shielded cable designed for reliable operation inside servers Compatibility: suitable for systems with SFF8087 miniSAS ports and SATA drives requiring SFF8482 power connectors Use cases Use Case 1: Expand a server's storage by linking four SATA drives to a single SFF8087 port on a host bus adapter, enabling a fourdisk array in a compact setup. Use Case 2: Connect a SAS/SATA controller to a drive backplane in a 2U or 4U chassis, consolidating data paths and simplifying cabling. Use Case 3: Create a tidy internal cabling solution for a small data center or home lab that requires a fourdrive expansion from one controller port. Notes This cable carries data via the SFF8087 interface and provides SATA power to four drives through the SFF8482 connectors. Ensure the power supply provides adequate SATA power to the drives; this cable does not separate power distribution. Intended for internal server use and backplane applications.
