Does this part exist? 20 or 24-port SFF-8087 to SFF-8088 PCI backplane bracket

Hi. I have an Areca ARC 1882-ix-24. Currently, I have 8087->8088 cables running out the only empty PCI slot on my Mac Pro 2010, but I'd like to switch to a backplane solution. I need to get 20 channels (i.e. 5 miniaSAS cables) to my external RAID, Right now I can only find 16-port backplane PCI brackets. Do 20 or 24-port versions even exist?

Thanks for reading this

I don't think I've ever seen any single backplane with more than 16 ports, but that's not to say one doesn't exist. I know in most large storage servers I've seen they usually just use multiple 4 or 8 port backplanes.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the prompt reply.
