SMUGDESK 0.5M Mini SAS SFF8654 8i 4.0 to Dual SFF8643 Cable 24Gbps 32AWG

SKU CH-2QPQ-07FXX

Converts a SFF8654 8i SAS 4.0 Slimline port to dual upward-angled SFF8643 connectors for 24Gbps enterprise storage in dense server chassis

  • Converts SFF8654 8i 4.0 Slimline to dual SFF8643 ports for dense server routing
  • Delivers 24Gbps SAS 4.0 bandwidth for enterprise storage performance
  • 32AWG copper wire minimizes signal loss for stable long-term transfers
  • Upward-angled connectors optimize cable management in 2U/4U chassis
  • Compatible with RAID controllers, enterprise HDDs and SSDs for data center arrays

High-Density Server Breakout Cable

This half-metre internal cable converts a single SFF8654 8i SAS 4.0 Slimline port into two upward-facing SFF8643 Mini SAS HD connectors. It is built with 32AWG copper wire to support 24Gbps bandwidth for enterprise storage arrays, RAID controllers and high-capacity NAS deployments where space-efficient routing matters.

Suits Dense Chassis Builds Not General Use

The upward-angled SFF8643 ends are designed for tight 2U and 4U server backplanes where straight connectors would block adjacent slots. Buyers needing a straight-through SFF8654 link or an external Mini SAS HD cable should look elsewhere, as this assembly is purpose-made for internal breakout routing only.

Verify Controller Port And Drive Backplane

Confirm the host controller presents an SFF8654 8i Slimline receptacle running SAS 4.0 and that the target backplane or drive cage accepts dual SFF8643 Mini SAS HD plugs. The 0.5 metre length limits placement to adjacent devices within the same enclosure, so measure the internal routing path before ordering.

Questions about this item

Do I need a SAS 4.0 controller with an SFF-8654 8i port to use this cable?

Yes, the cable plugs into a SAS 4.0 Slimline SFF-8654 8i port on the controller side and breaks out to dual SFF-8643 connectors for drives.

Will this work with older SAS 3.0 drives that have SFF-8643 ports?

The cable carries SAS 4.0 at 24Gbps, but SAS is backward compatible so it will link at the drive's native speed when connected to SAS 3.0 devices.

How can I verify the 24Gbps link is active after installation?

Check the RAID controller BIOS or OS utilities; they will report the negotiated link speed per port, which should show 24Gbps on each SFF-8643 lane when drives support SAS 4.0.
