SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 6G Internal Mini SAS Cable, Compatible with PCI Express Controller or RAID, 100-Ohm, 0.8-m(2.6ft), 2 Pack

These cables work just fine for my SAS card needs. They work very well. No complaints. I like the braided outside. It allows smooth. Runs to happen with inside of the computer case you're using them in so they'll also resist a little bit better if you have some sharp metal on the inside. I do like the way that they flex and turn and do lock into position providing the card has the ability to lock. I would buy these again if needed. They do look like they'll last quite a long time.

The cable does cable things

I used these cables when I went from a 24 drive expander backplane to a non expander A black plane on a 2u 24 drive Supermicro server. I want to have 3 controllers so I could use on HBA for VSAN then pass the rest of the controllers and drives to a VM running Truenas to provide scratch storage for VMs. These worked great!Highs:Good connectorsGreat cable protectionPerfect length for a server backplane to PCIe slotsGreat value

The cables seem to be good quality, but were 4 inches shorter than advertised and therefore wouldn't reach my hba. Order longer than you need!Edit: Ordered longer cables and have had no issue as of 2 weeks from install.

Bit stiff but all these cables are like that. Works fine with my HBA & SAS expander.

Cables arrived quickly and worked perfectly.

Solid cables, good construction. A little long for my use, 1 ft would have been better, but these work well.

Bought two sets (4 cables) and used them from an Intel SAS Expander (RES2SV240) to two 8-drive SuperMicro enclosures (M28SAB). These are much easier to route than regular SFF-8087 cables. I had to use cable-ties on the old cables to avoid straining the connectors. The 10Gtek cables do not strain anything. Since they are thin ribbons instead of thick tubes I could also stack all four when routing through tight spaces. So far no indication of noise/crosstalk problems after about a month of use in the 16 hdd RAID. My one request would be a short 0.3m version for use from my HBA to Expander.
