10Gtek SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 External Mini SAS HD Cable, 3G/6Gbps SAS2.0 26Pin Hybrid Cable Attached SCSI for Raid, DAS, and Servers, 100-Ohm, 1-m(3.3ft)

This is a high quality cable that was the perfect length for hooking my disk rack to my server. It looks very well built, and it plugged in and connected instantly with no issues.

I picked this up to test if I had a failing cable, card, or controller in a DAS unit. The cable itself came in a reusable package and looked to be good quality, albeit slightly thinner than the EMC cable it was replacing for testing. After installing it, everything worked as expected, no issue, no increase in errors or anything to the sort. In the end my problem turned out to be a controller, but this cable is still the one I'm using and I've relegated the EMC cable to the back shelf as this one is much easier to cable manage, insert, and remove.

Cable works fine: device still works and connectors seem solid. I use this for an old DAS device where the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 was damaged. I wish the cable was a bit more flexible, but it works and it's the correct length. I'm taking off one start because the cable is a bit stiff compared to my last one and it made cable management a bit difficult.

Used this to connect my HBA330 to my Compellent SC220 Shelves. Works beautifully. Cable is very robust. Will be buying another set when I build the second SAN

I got this to connect to my Supermicro JBOD via a LSI 9207-8e HBA. This cable works flawlessly, as expected.

Great quality cable. Clearly made with durability in mind

Works great to connect my server to a Jbod. Length is perfect (1ft), although 0.5ft would’ve worked too.

Dell N2000 series switches use a proprietary 21Gbps communication method over their stacking cables. Dell doesn't specifically state that you have to use their stacking cables, just that it needs to be Mini-SAS, so when we needed to spread out our three N2048 switches on the rack, I checked to find the exact SAS connector needed and if it would be compatible. While the cable only supports 6Gbps on SAS connections, Dell uses another method to get 21Gbps. The Mini SAS SFF-8088 connector (on both sides) is the correct cable to replace the Dell more expensive cable.
