Description

StarTech SAS87431M Internal Mini SAS Cable

Overview

The StarTech SAS87431M is a 1-meter internal Mini SAS cable designed to bridge the gap between a SAS controller and a SAS backplane. This cable is essential for building or expanding server storage configurations, ensuring reliable data transfer between components. Its specific connector types, SFF-8087 on one end and SFF-8643 on the other, target direct connections within server chassis or storage arrays where these interfaces are present. The 12Gbps data rate capability ensures it can keep pace with modern SAS storage performance demands.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for direct connection between a SAS controller featuring an SFF-8087 port and a SAS backplane equipped with an SFF-8643 port. It is suitable for use in server builds and storage expansion projects where these specific SAS connector types are utilized. Verify your controller and backplane ports match the SFF-8087 and SFF-8643 specifications before purchase.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 30 AWG wire gauge, providing a balance of flexibility and durability for internal routing. Its compact dimensions (1.2 cm width, 1.0 cm height) facilitate installation in dense server environments. The product weighs 51.0 g, minimizing any physical strain on connected ports.
