Thin 0.5 metre cable with SlimSAS SFF8654 8i plug splitting to dual SFF8087 SAS connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 0.5M SlimSAS SFF8654 8i 4.0 to Dual SAS 8087 Cable 32AWG 24G

SKU CH-TR7Q-Y5S31

Connects a SlimSAS SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 host port to dual SFF8087 SAS ports with 32AWG copper at 24Gbps in a .5m antimisdirection design

  • Splits one SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 port into two SFF8087 SAS links
  • 24Gbps bandwidth supports highspeed multidrive storage expansion
  • 32AWG lowloss copper reduces signal attenuation for stable performance
  • Antimisdirection connectors prevent reverse insertion during server assembly
  • Compact .5M length enables neat internal routing in rackmount servers

Breakout Cable for Enterprise Storage

This 0.5 metre internal harness splits a single SlimSAS SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 host port into two independent SFF8087 Mini SAS connectors. It targets system integrators and data centre operators expanding multi drive arrays inside rackmount servers or storage backplanes. The high density breakout design enables direct attachment of SAS hard drives or RAID controllers without additional adapters.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a passive copper assembly the cable generates no audible noise and adds negligible thermal load to the chassis airflow. Premium 32AWG low loss conductors minimise signal attenuation and crosstalk across the link. Power consumption is limited to the signalling requirements of the connected controller and drives.

Upgrade Path and Compatibility

The harness replaces older SFF8087 to SFF8087 loom sets when migrating a backplane to a modern SlimSAS SFF8654 8i host interface. It supports up to 24Gbps parallel data transmission for enterprise workloads. The anti misdirection keying prevents reverse insertion errors during dense server assembly. Buyers needing longer reach or different breakout counts should verify alternate cable specifications.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the SFF8654 end into the host without inserting it backwards?

The SFF8654 connector uses an anti-misdirection design that physically blocks reverse insertion; align the keyed notch with the port and push straight in until the latch clicks.

Will the 32AWG copper conductors need replacement after a certain period?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no moving parts; it does not require scheduled replacement unless physical damage or connector wear appears during inspection.

At what throughput does the link saturate during sustained transfers?

The harness is rated for 24Gbps aggregate bandwidth across the two SFF8087 branches, so sustained traffic will hit that ceiling first.
