From connector module to cable: SAS Accessories

SAS accessories for your systems

With every new member of the SFF SAS family, confusion about the right connector shape grows. Here you’ll find everything you need.

The standards adopted by the Small Form Factor Committee constantly spawn new, robust connector variants for the electronics industry. In the SAS world, several formats already exist—SFF-8482, SFF-8484, SFF-8485, SFF-8470, SFF-8087, SFF-8088, SFF-8643, SFF-8644, and SFF-8654—each with its own rightful place. These standards speed up specification development and guarantee compatibility among devices from different manufacturers.

The sheer variety of form factors can sometimes mean you need replacement cables or adapters— and that’s where Starline comes in. For every SAS product we sell, we supply the matching counterpart so your onsite components operate exactly as they should.

FAQ about the Starline brand

What makes Starline better than an A-brand?

With Starline you are not on the proverbial hook once you have bought something. Starline is an independent medium-sized company that produces servers and storage systems in Germany. Our suppliers - from cables to screws to SSDs - have to undergo internal benchmarking by our technicians and are only included in the programme when their performance is beyond doubt. We also rely on cross-manufacturer standards and not on isolated solutions. Moreover, all systems assembled by us are put through their paces before they leave our premises. And last but not least: We look after you whenever you wish - for example, by providing free advice before the purchase and free technical support afterwards.

Why should I purchase from Starline?

As an independent company, Starline offers servers and storage systems "Made in Germany". All devices are put through their paces before they leave our premises. In addition, we offer free advice before the purchase and free technical support afterwards - even after the warranty has expired.

What is Starline? Distributor or manufacturer?

The answer is clear: both! We sell and install both ready-made components - where we always install new drives, install any firmware updates and customise them - and hand-assembled systems that are completely tailored to your needs. For the latter, we use our own brands NASdeluxe, RAIDdeluxe and Zealbox, for example. All of them consist of high-quality industrial-grade components, right down to the screws.

What services does Starline offer?

We offer a wide range of free and bookable services. You can find a detailed overview here.
