Product Identity
This SMUGDESK cable is a 1-to-4 fan-out splitter that converts a single SFF8654 38-pin Slimline SAS 4.0 host port into four SFF8482 29-pin SAS target ports. It is built for administrators and integrators expanding drive counts on RAID controllers inside rackmount servers and storage enclosures. The 100cm length supports flexible routing in dense chassis.
Who It Suits
It suits builders connecting up to four SAS hard disks to one modern Slimline SAS 4.0 RAID adapter in enterprise or data-centre deployments. It is not for installations where the host side uses a different connector type or where fewer than four target ports are required. Systems lacking an SFF8654 4-lane host interface cannot use this cable.
Deciding Specification
The host connector is an SFF8654 38-pin Slimline SAS 4.0 4-lane port; the four drive connectors are SFF8482 29-pin SAS ports. Verify that your RAID controller presents exactly this host interface and that your drives or backplanes accept the SFF8482 attachment before ordering.

Questions about this item
What bandwidth does the Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 38pin host interface cap at in practice?
The SFF8654 38pin host port follows the SAS 4.0 specification, providing four lanes of highspeed data transmission for stable multidrive connectivity.
What physical clearance does the 100cm fanout cable need inside a rackmount server?
The 100cm length allows flexible routing between the RAID controller and four SFF8482 29pin drive bays in large enclosures.
How is the 1to4 splitter installed, and which step do builders often miss?
Connect the single SFF8654 38pin plug to the RAID host port, then attach each of the four SFF8482 29pin connectors to the target drives, ensuring every latch clicks securely.
