Monoprice 2m 28AWG External Mini SAS 26-Pin SFF-8088 Male to Internal Mini SAS 36-Pin SFF-8087 Male Cable, Black (108197)

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a high-speed data storage interface designed for high-throughput and fast data access. Intended primarily for data storage centers the SAS interface is backwards compatible with SATA. This allows the user to mix more expensive lower-capacity SAS drives for applications that require faster data access and higher reliability with lower-cost higher-capacity SATA drives for applications with lower access speed requirements. Monoprice carries a full line of quality SAS cables with connectors for every possible application both internal and external. This 2 meter long cable uses 28 AWG wires. It has an external 26-pin SFF-8088 male Mini-SAS plug (with release ring) on one end and an internal 36-pin SFF-8087 male SAS plug (with locking latch) on the other.
