Description

QNAP CAB-SAS05M-8088 Mini-SAS 6G SFF-8088 Cable

Overview

The CAB-SAS05M-8088 is a 0.5-meter Mini-SAS 6Gb/s cable using the SFF-8088 external connector standard. It is designed to connect QNAP NAS enclosures to compatible expansion units, providing the physical SAS link required for storage capacity expansion in short-distance bay-to-bay installations. The 0.5m length suits rack-adjacent or shelf-stacked configurations where both units sit within the same rack unit or directly beside each other — longer runs would require a different length variant.

Compatibility

This cable is intended for use with QNAP NAS systems and expansion enclosures that expose external SFF-8088 Mini-SAS ports. Compatible product families typically include QNAP JBOD expansion enclosures (such as the REXP series) and QNAP NAS models equipped with SFF-8088 host ports for direct-attach expansion. Verify that both the host NAS and the target expansion unit carry SFF-8088 external Mini-SAS connectors before ordering — internal SFF-8087 ports require a different cable and are not compatible with this part.
