Slimline SFF-8654 8i plug fans out to eight SATA connectors on a .5 m cable

Fervit

Fervit SFF-8654 8i to 8×SATA cable .5 m 32AWG 24Gbps

SKU CH-1BZ1-27QWY

Converts a single SFF-8654 8i port into eight SATA connectors with 32AWG copper for 24Gbps bandwidth

  • Converts one SFF-8654 8i port into eight SATA drives for massive storage expansion
  • Full-housing anti-misplug design prevents reverse insertion to protect server hardware
  • 32AWG pure copper wire delivers stable 24Gbps bandwidth for enterprise-grade systems
  • Precision-shielded harness minimises crosstalk and attenuation for reliable RAID operation
  • Compact .5 m length allows tidy internal routing in high-density racks

What the cable does

The Fervit SFF-8654 8i cable splits one Slimline SAS port into eight SATA connectors. It supports 24Gbps bandwidth over .5 meter of 32AWG copper. A full-housing anti-misplug design stops reverse insertion. Builders expanding drive counts in dense servers or workstations use this harness for clean internal routing.

Suits high-density RAID; not for longer runs

This fanout suits administrators building compact RAID arrays where a single 8654 port feeds multiple drives. The short .5 meter length keeps signalling tight in 1U or 2U chassis. Installers needing longer reach between backplanes or external enclosures should look at a different cable.

The deciding spec: SFF-8654 8i host port

Your controller or backplane must present an SFF-8654 8i Slimline SAS receptacle. If the host side uses a different SAS connector or a standard SATA port, this harness will not fit. Verify the exact port type before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the .5 m length restrict airflow in a tightly packed chassis?

The .5 m harness is designed for neat internal routing in high-density rack servers and compact workstation chassis without blocking airflow.

Will the 24Gbps signal degrade or the cable heat up during continuous RAID operation?

Precision-shielded 32AWG pure copper conductors minimise crosstalk and attenuation, so the 24Gbps link remains stable with no thermal issues under sustained load.

Must the host already have an SFF-8654 8i Slimline SAS port for this cable to work?

Yes, the cable plugs directly into a single SFF-8654 8i Slimline SAS port and fans out to eight SATA connectors.
