SMUGDESK 0.5M Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i 74Pin to SFF-8654 Male to Male SAS Cable

SKU CH-0EEG-T5QBN

Slimline SAS 4.0 cable with dual SFF-8654 8i 74Pin connectors delivers 24Gbps per lane for NVMe storage arrays

  • 5 m length streamlines server cabling and improves airflow
  • 24 Gbps per lane enables full NVMe SSD performance
  • 74-pin SFF-8654 8i connectors comply with SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0
  • Shielded 32 AWG copper eliminates interference for 24/7 operation
  • Locking buckles prevent accidental disconnection in vibrating chassis

Direct-attach cable for dense server chassis

This half-metre Slimline SAS 4.0 cord carries dual SFF-8654 8i 74Pin male plugs for internal links between RAID controllers, HBA adapters and NVMe backplanes. It targets system builders who need short, high-density runs inside 1U or 2U enclosures.

Shielded copper with locking buckles

Multi-layer shielding on 32AWG conductors suppresses crosstalk at 24Gbps per lane, while integrated locking tabs resist vibration-induced disconnects in continuously running racks. The combination keeps signal integrity intact during sustained heavy I/O without extra retention hardware.

Verify port keying and lane count

Confirm every endpoint presents an SFF-8654 8i receptacle keyed for SAS 4.0 and that your backplane or controller maps all eight lanes per connector. The fixed .5m reach suits only adjacent devices in the same chassis.

Questions about this item

Will the 74Pin SFF-8654 connectors need periodic re-seating?

The built-in locking buckle on each 74Pin SFF-8654 connector prevents accidental detachment from vibration, so planned re-seating is not required.

What bandwidth ceiling appears first when the cable runs 24Gbps per lane continuously?

The 24Gbps per lane limit of the SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0 interface is the first ceiling reached under sustained load.

Does the 32AWG copper construction run hot inside a closed chassis all day?

The 32AWG high-purity copper conductors with multi-layer shielding are designed for stable 24/7 operation without excess heat buildup.
