Review: Great Cable - I needed this SFF 8087 to SATA Forward Breakout Cable, 3.3 feet, which connects the one SFF 8087 Connector on my LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i RAID SBA Card to 4 SATA HDD's. Cables of this type, where you have the one SFF 8087 connector to 4 SATA or SAS HDD's are delicate cables to begin with due to the wire connections, this cable appears well made. The Connectors seem to be of good quality and fit snugly into their receptors, the main leads from the SFF connector are wrapped in a heavy insulator to protect the cables and while I didn't measure the length of this heavy insulator was about halfway on the total cable. The 4 separate leads were smaller wire gauge with a light blue plastic insulator and SATA standard connectors. Each of the 4 connectors were labeled with a simple plastic tag numbered from 1 thru 4 so you can identify each drive connected. I had no problems with communication between the Card and the HDD's, worked perfectly upon installation. The SATA connectors are typical ones that you find on many cables, nothing special, not too hard to install or remove, just press the small spring metal tab and the cable can be removed. They click into place with little effort. In hindsight, I may have tried to find cables with right angle SATA connectors as there wasn't much space between the connector and my case, but it worked without having to bend any wires. Its important that the wires are not crimped when installed. The Cable itself was quite long. I have mine in a large Mid Tower PC Case where the stacked and connected HDD's are to the right of the Motherboard so there was plenty of cable to route around the case. This cable would have been adequate for a larger case as well, either a Server Case or larger tower pc case. The 1.6 foot cable may have also worked but when I ordered it, I didn't want to take any chances on it being too short. Better to run the cable around the perimeter of the case than have it be too short or have to run it too close to a heat source of block airflow. I have other Cable Matters cables and they were of similar good quality, I don't think you can go wrong with this cable. ## Features - Connectors & Compatibility (SFF-8087 β†’ 4Γ—SATA): Internal Mini-SAS SFF-8087 (host/controller side) to 4Γ— SATA 7-pin data (drive side) forward breakout cable. Compatible with RAID/HBA/PCIe storage controllers featuring an SFF-8087 internal Mini-SAS port, connecting up to four SATA HDD/SSD (or a backplane with SATA data inputs). Supports up to 6Gbps (SATA III) per drive; data onlyβ€”drives require separate SATA power. - Forward Breakout Only (NOT Reverse): One-way FORWARD fan-out cable: SFF-8087 controller β†’ SATA drives. Not reversible and will not work for motherboard SATA ports β†’ Mini-SAS backplane/controller; that setup requires a REVERSE breakout cable. - DIY or pro installers both appreciate the convenience of a forward fan-out cable with an internal mSAS connector when expanding storage needs; 3 foot cable harness of SAS to SATA cable provides sufficient length for internal cable management; Slim ribbon cables minimize airflow impact in a computer case - Flexible design of SAS breakout cable includes acetate cloth tape over slim ribbon cables for strain relief to protect cables without rigidity; Woven mesh sheath covers half of the cable for easy routing; P1 to P4 markers provide easy ID after installation; Low profile SATA connectors have easy-grip treads with stainless steel latches to prevent accidental disconnection and reduce vibration disconnection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B012BPLYJC | | Best Sellers Rank | #6 in Mini-SAS Cables | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Brand Name | Cable Matters | | Cable Type | Mini SAS | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Compatible Phone Models | No Compatible Phone Models | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Male | | Connector Type | Mini Sas | | Customer Package Type | Sealed anti-static bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,159 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 gigabits_per_second | | Ethernet Cable Category | Cat 5 | | Frequency | 6 GHz | | Gauge | 30 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Length | 3.3 feet | | Item Shape | Round | | Manufacturer | Cable Matters | | Model | 104016 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 36 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Data Transfer | | Part Number | 104016 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Expanding storage needs, providing reliable internal connectivity between a Serial attached SCSI controller card in a computer system and direct attached storage devices with a SATA connector, leveraging hardware RAID performance with SATA multi-lane cable, and being an essential component of a hardware RAID configuration. | | Special Feature | Data Transfer | | Specification Met | RoHS | | UPC | 081159816773 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cable Matters - **Cable Type:** Mini SAS - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Connector Type:** Mini Sas - **Special Feature:** Data Transfer ## Images ![Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable, SFF-8087, 3.3ft - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717fcb8oQaL.jpg) ![Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable, SFF-8087, 3.3ft - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G39hLbs-L.jpg) ![Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable, SFF-8087, 3.3ft - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kdYSXddCL.jpg) ![Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable, SFF-8087, 3.3ft - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pOf+uhEyL.jpg) ![Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable, SFF-8087, 3.3ft - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AOQ0D+rkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it work with RAID card?** A: Yes, this cable works a RAID or PCIe controller with an SFF-8087 port(Mini SAS port). **Q: What is a forward breakout cable?** A: It connects a Mini-SAS (SFF-8087) port on a RAID/HBA card to four SATA drives. It cannot be used in reverse from motherboard SATA ports to a Mini-SAS backplane. **Q: How do I know if this works with my RAID/HBA card?** A: Check if your RAID/HBA Mini-SAS (SFF-8087) port supports SATA drives. Some cards only work with Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cables, so review your controller specs. **Q: Can I use this with my motherboard SATA ports?** A: No. This is a forward breakout cable for RAID/HBA controllers. For connecting SATA motherboard ports to a Mini-SAS backplane, a reverse breakout cable is required. **Q: Does this cable support SAS drives?** A: No. This cable is designed for SATA drives only. To connect SAS drives, use a Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cable and confirm your RAID/HBA card supports SAS compatibility. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and well-built cable that works perfectly out of the box. *by A***R on April 1, 2026* Arrived quickly and well packed with no damage.

The connectors feel solid and click in snugly on both the SAS and SATA ends without any looseness. The individual SATA leads being labeled 1 through 4 is a really nice detail when you are keeping track of which drive is which in a big array. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable 3.3 Feet (SFF-8087 to SATA Forward Breakout) - LSI LOGIC SAS9211-8I 8PORT Int 6GB Sata+SAS Pcie 2.0 - StarTech.com 15.7 in (400 mm) SATA Power Splitter Adapter Cable - M/F - 4x Serial ATA Power Cable Splitter (PYO4SATA) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/18075397-cable-matters-internal-mini-sas-to-sata-cable-sff-8087](https://www.desertcart.at/products/18075397-cable-matters-internal-mini-sas-to-sata-cable-sff-8087) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
