SCSI kabel DeLOCK mini SAS 36pin (SFF 8087) – 50 cm

The DeLOCK mini SAS 36pin (SFF 8087) - 50cm cable is designed for internal server and storage connections where high-speed, reliable data transfer is required. With a compact SFF-8087 connector form factor and a 50 cm length, this cable connects SAS host controllers to backplane or expander ports, supporting serial attached SCSI topologies and delivering data rates up to 6 Gbps. The construction focuses on stable signal integrity and secure mating to minimize connection interruptions in rack-mounted and enterprise storage environments.

Advantages

This mini SAS cable provides a standardized SFF-8087 interface that enables consistent connectivity between SAS controllers and device enclosures. The 50 cm length balances flexibility and manageability in dense server racks. Connectors are built for repeated insertions and a secure fit to reduce the risk of accidental disconnection. Support for 6 Gbps data rates ensures compatibility with common SAS generation devices used in current storage solutions.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal SAS host cards to backplanes or RAID controllers
• Linking expanders and drive enclosures in storage arrays
• Server and workstation internal cabling in rack or tower systems
• Testing and maintenance tasks in data center environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: mini SAS SFF-8087 (36 pin)
• Cable length: 50 cm
• Maximum data rate: up to 6 Gbps per lane (SAS II compatible)
• Usage: internal PC/server cable for SAS connections
• Cable construction: shielded for improved signal integrity

How to use

Install the cable by powering down the system and locating the SFF-8087 ports on the host controller and the target backplane or expander. Align the keyed connector and insert it firmly until it seats; do not force the connector beyond the natural stop. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of fans or hot components to maintain signal performance. After connection, power on the system and verify that attached SAS devices are detected in firmware or operating system storage management tools.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid repeated extreme flexing of the cable and maintain gentle bend radii. Use proper airflow and cable management within the chassis to minimize exposure to heat. When replacing or upgrading storage components, confirm compatibility with existing SAS controllers and backplanes and verify connector seating to prevent intermittent connections.
