Short blue breakout cable with one SFF-8654 8i plug and eight right-angle SATA connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 0.5M SFF-8654 8i to 8×SATA 90° SAS Cable

SKU CH-EGNY-AF8D3

High-density breakout cable converts one SFF-8654 8i Slimline SAS port to eight 90-degree SATA connectors for 24 Gbps 8-channel storage expansion in compact servers

  • Converts one SFF-8654 8i host port to eight 90° SATA connectors
  • 24 Gbps bandwidth across 8 channels for multi-drive storage
  • 32 AWG copper wire reduces signal loss and crosstalk
  • 90° angled SATA ends save space in compact server builds
  • .5 M length enables clean internal routing for RAID controllers

High-density breakout for multi-drive arrays

This cable converts a single SFF-8654 8i Slimline SAS host port into eight independent SATA connections. It is built for administrators expanding enterprise RAID arrays, data-centre storage or compact server builds. The 0.5M length keeps internal routing tidy inside dense chassis.

Suits tight backplanes; not for longer runs

The 90-degree SATA plugs save space in rackmount servers and crowded backplane layouts. Builders who need more reach between controller and drives should look at something else. The fixed 0.5M design cannot be extended without adding another cable.

24Gbps 8-channel bandwidth decides fit

Each of the eight lanes carries up to 24Gbps for parallel multi-drive throughput. If your controller or backplane tops out at a lower rate, the extra headroom goes unused. Match the 32AWG low-loss copper link to hardware that can saturate the pipe.

Questions about this item

Does the 32AWG copper construction generate noticeable heat when the cable runs at 24Gbps all day?

The 32AWG low-loss copper minimises signal attenuation and crosstalk, so the cable stays cool even during continuous 24Gbps operation.

Which host connector must my controller provide for this SFF-8654 8i breakout to work?

Your RAID controller or HBA needs a single PCIe Slimline SAS SFF-8654 8-lane port to accept the host end of this harness.

Will the 90-degree SATA plugs fit the drives in my older 2.5-inch hot-swap backplane?

The 90-degree SATA connectors are designed for tight backplane layouts and will mate with standard SATA drive ports in 2.5-inch bays.
