H!Fiber.com 2 Pack 12G Internal Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to SFF-8087(36Pin) Cable, 0.5m, 36 Pin, with Sideband, 100 Ohm, Flexible, Support RAID, PCIE Controller, 0.5-Meter(1.6ft)

Works great in my server!

I needed six of these to connect 24 SATA 3 HDD through six SAS/SATA distribution boards to my 24-channel LSI SAS Controller (IT Mode). I have a 24x 8TB Storage Spaces 6+2 parity Array for all my backup and media needs. The best thing to say is that after installing them I was able to completely forget about them. If they fit, they will be good for you too. I chose short ones to keep my in-server cable management task easier, and of course longer is always bad for signal integrity. Recommended.
