is there such a thing as a SFF-8087 (controller/host) to 4x SATA *male* connectors?

I have a Z800, which has it's own 4-bay backplane to SATA cables. It appears to be all 1 piece so I can't replace it. The onboard SATA and SAS controller on the Z800 motherboard are 3Gbps so I want to add a 6Gbps (plan to add SSD) HBA to connect to the same backplane. Since the HP SATA cables ends are female and plug into the male SATA/SAS connectors on the motherboard, I need a way to connect my HBA (has SFF-8087) to these SATA female connectors. Do these even exist?

that looks about right, but I couldn't find that part number for a reasonable price.

I did find this, which looks the same but different part number:

HP 676918-001 M36P Mini SAS 4i(Male) SFF-8087 To 4i SAS/SATA(Male) Length :10cm

Going to try it out.

Necro, but did this work? SAS card with SFF-8087 to SATA cables?

it worked great. i needed this for my son's HP Z800 workstation. The SAS backplane on it had SATA cables to the motherboard's SATA ports, which was driven by an old LSI SAS-1 controller (1068?). I added a SAS2008 based controller, used that cable to connect HBA-> (SFF-8087->SATA male) -> (SATA female->backplane).
