What is this type of cable for?

SAS-8087 to SATA fanout cables

I am not sure, but it seems like it has multiple sata connectors, but I do not think it will connect to a sata controller built on the MB.

Sorry that I cant be more accurate. But it is all I have going for me..


I ask because I have 8 Sata drives on my case with each having separate cables for data and power. Does this allow fewer cables?
 
It's for connecting SATA drives to SAS/SATA controller cards. It won't connect to your motherboard and it doesn't carry power.
 
It is pretty sweet since there are many cards that are 2 port 8087, so effectively they drive 8 ports
