CBO Cable SFF-8088 Male to SFF-8088 Male 1 m (model 2202508-2-BL)

The CBO Cable SFF-8088 Male to SFF-8088 Male 1 m is a BlueOptics direct-attach copper cable designed for short-distance connections between storage systems and host adapters. It uses Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8088) connectors on both ends and provides a compact, fixed-length link suitable for high-density rack and server environments where a reliable 1 m cable is required. The cable supports direct point-to-point connections without additional transceivers and is intended for use where space and cable management are important.

Advantages

This SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 cable offers a compact footprint and simplified installation compared with modular fibre assemblies. Using a fixed 1 m copper design reduces the need for additional components and ensures consistent electrical performance for short-reach SAS connections. The cable is suitable for dense server racks and storage arrays, allowing straightforward routing and minimal signal loss over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Direct connection between storage enclosures and host bus adapters with Mini-SAS HD ports
• High-density rack and server installations requiring short, fixed-length interconnects
• Environments where a copper direct-attach cable is preferred over transceiver-based links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFF-8088 (Mini-SAS HD) male to male
• Cable length: 1 m (fixed)
• Cable medium: copper direct-attach assembly
• Intended use: short-reach SAS storage and host interconnects
• Form factor: fixed, non-field-terminable assembly for rack and server use

How to use

Install the cable by firmly inserting each SFF-8088 connector into the corresponding Mini-SAS HD port on the storage device and the host adapter until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and strain on the connectors; maintain the specified 1 m length without stretching. Verify that the connected devices detect the link and configure any required SAS settings on the host or storage system as per manufacturer instructions.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending and keep the cable away from high-interference power sources. Use this cable in short-reach connections within the recommended distance and in environments where a fixed copper direct-attach solution meets system requirements. Inspect connectors before installation to ensure they are free of debris or damage.
