SAS Expander with 2x SFF-8088 on pci slot (alien.top)

Does something like this exist?

Is there a limit on cable length? I'll be going LSI cards 2x SFF-8087 into an SFF-8087 to SFF-8088 converter board and then 2x SFF-8088 into the SAS expander.

SAS expanders are by nature internal as external enclosures normally have built in expanders.

The closes you can get would be an "SAS Switch" like the Broadcom 6160, but they are not easy to find (I have one in my closet)
