100CM Internal Mini SAS36 Pin SFF-8087 To 4 X SATA & Sideband Cable

Introduction

The Internal Mini SAS36 Pin SFF-8087 to 4 x SATA & Sideband Cable is a type of cable used to connect a Mini SAS host controller card to four SATA hard drives or SSDs. The cable features a 36-pin Mini SAS connector on one end that connects to the host controller card and four SATA connectors on the other end that connect to the drives.

The sideband cable is used to transmit extra signals between the host controller and the drives. These signals are used for activities such as enclosure management, status reporting, and activity indication. The sideband cable is typically a separate set of wires that runs alongside the main cable.

This type of cable is commonly used in server systems or high-performance workstations where multiple hard drives or SSDs are used in a RAID configuration. By connecting multiple drives to a single Mini SAS controller card, the system can provide higher data transfer rates and better fault tolerance.
