SMUGDESK 0.5M SlimSAS LP SFF8654 8i 74Pin to 8×SATA Cable
A 0.5 metre low-profile cable splits one SFF-8654 8i 74-pin host port into eight SATA ports using 30 AWG copper and 100 ohm impedance control for dense server storage expansion
- Converts one SFF8654 LP 8-lane 74-pin host port into eight independent SATA ports for multi-drive expansion
- 100-ohm impedance matching maintains stable signal integrity for high-speed PCIe/SAS transmission
- Premium 30AWG low-loss copper wire minimizes signal attenuation and crosstalk
- Low-profile design fits compact slim servers and space-restricted OEM rackmount systems
- 5M short optimized length supports clean internal routing for RAID controllers and storage backplanes
Compact breakout cable
This 0.5 metre harness converts a single SFF8654 LP 74Pin host port into eight independent SATA connections, letting builders expand storage in slim servers or dense rackmount chassis without adding controllers. The lowprofile form factor keeps internal routing tidy in spaceconstrained OEM systems and RAID backplanes.
Signal integrity and routing
Premium 30AWG copper wire with 100ohm impedance matching preserves clean PCIe and SAS transmission across the short run, reducing attenuation and crosstalk during heavy multiharddrive workloads. The halfmetre length supports neat cable management inside compact server enclosures.
Upgrade path and fit
Replaces bulkier multiport assemblies when a single SFF8654 8lane port must feed eight SATA drives in a tight chassis. The jump is worthwhile whenever density matters more than reach and the host already exposes the required lowprofile connector.

Questions about this item
How do you install the SlimSAS LP SFF8654 8i 74Pin connector into a low-profile server chassis?
Align the low-profile 74-pin plug with the host port keying, press straight in until the latch clicks, then route the 30AWG wires without sharp bends to reach the eight SATA drives.
What maintenance or replacement will this cable need over time?
Inspect the 100-ohm impedance traces and 30AWG copper conductors for kinks or connector wear when drives are swapped; replace the harness if signal errors appear.
What limit appears first when the cable runs sustained high-speed RAID traffic?
The 0.5M length and 30AWG gauge set the practical attenuation ceiling for multi-drive SAS/SATA streams before signal margin drops.
