it depends on what you want to connect. that cable is for connecting external jbod units.

This looks lika a infiniband SFF-8470 connector.
Here is a guide how to connect various SAS / SATA sceneries:

It says

This product is an internal Mini Serial Attached SCSI x4 to x4 Mini Serial Attached SCSI cable. It is used for connecting a SATA/SAS controller to a SATA/SAS backplane.

I do belive in this case it is 4 backplanes as there is 4 to connect?

and it says also internal cable

b0ssman i have ordered 1 x 36 pin 4i Mini MultiLane SAS (SFF-8087)
1 x 36 pin 4i Mini MultiLane SAS (SFF-8087)

So i am hoping that SFF-8087 as you linking to is the right

can you give an exact link?

the google result point to a breakout cable.
which is not what you want.

Post by **lindsay** » 08 Aug 2014 22:05

Yes as the other i still waiting for.
Discovered now that the streacom ir reciver did not follow the other shippement

This is not a big deal as i call them on monday.
Hope on tuesday i can then begin to move the hdd`s and the rest over to the rack.

what do you want to use the streamcom reciever for?

i have tried it and didnt like it very much.

Post by **lindsay** » 09 Aug 2014 09:05

It is for my new xbmc, not this project.
I was only hoping to finish the projects this weeekend

Post by **b0ssman** » 09 Aug 2014 10:09

the streamcom registers itself as a keyboard rather than an rc6 reciever.
it didnt work that well with my harmony.
