Slim Line SAS 4.0 fan-out cable

This cable links a controller with a Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i 38-pin connector to four SATA 7-pin drives. It is built for internal use in servers or workstations that need to break out a single high-density port into multiple drive connections.

Upgrades from older SAS 3.0 fan-out cables

The assembly meets the SAS 3.0 and SlimSAS SFF-8654 specifications while supporting 24 Gbps SAS and 8 GT/s PCIe per channel. The jump is worth it when the controller and backplane both support the 4.0 signalling rate and the 50 cm reach fits the chassis layout.

Handles four drive channels at full 4.0 speed

Each of the four lanes carries the rated 24 Gbps SAS bandwidth, giving ample headroom for current enterprise SSDs and HDDs. The limit appears when the host controller cannot supply four lanes at the higher rate or when cable routing exceeds the fixed 50 cm length.
