MB is a Supermicro X9SRH-7F which has 8 individual SAS ports. I want to hook this up to an expander backplane.

What kind of breakout cable do I need?

TIA
 
Thanks. Any idea how to identify one? Reason I ask is I'm looking on eBay and I see a cable exactly like one I have but it has no markings or label to indicate what it is. It does have the red chinese writing on one of the number tags just like in the picture.

Superficially, they will look the same; the difference is the pinouts/wire-connections.
The description on that product page makes it clear that it IS a reverse breakout cable. If a 50cm long cable will suffice, This is cheaper.
Disclaimer: I am not 100% certain that [SAS] reverse-breakout works with expanders. It probably does, but I don't have direct experience. Please follow up with your results.
