SMUGDESK 1M Slim SAS SFF8654 8i to Dual SFF8087 4X Cable

SKU CH-NNR3-W4S8Z

Converts a single SFF8654 8i Slim SAS port into two independent SFF8087 4X Mini SAS connections for 12Gbps enterprise storage expansion

  • Converts one Slim SAS 8i port to two SFF8087 4X ports
  • 10 Ohm impedance matching preserves signal integrity over distance
  • 12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth handles enterprise RAID workloads
  • 32AWG copper conductors reduce attenuation and crosstalk
  • 1 meter length allows flexible routing in dense server chassis

Slim SAS Breakout Cable

This breakout cable converts a single Slim SAS SFF8654 8i host port into two independent SFF8087 4X Mini SAS connections. It is built for administrators expanding internal storage on enterprise RAID controllers or dense server backplanes.

12Gbps SAS 3.0 Bandwidth Limit

The assembly is rated for 12Gbps SAS 3.0 signalling with 10 Ohm impedance control across its 32AWG copper conductors. Throughput cannot exceed the controller or backplane capability, and total bandwidth is shared between the two 4-lane branches.

Straightforward Internal Routing

The one metre length allows tidy cable management inside rackmount chassis without excessive slack. Installers must verify that the host port is an 8-lane SFF8654 8i receptacle and that each target device presents a standard SFF8087 4X interface; mismatched pinouts or lane counts will prevent link negotiation.

  • 10 Ohm impedance matching preserves signal integrity over distance
  • 12Gbps SAS 3.0 bandwidth handles enterprise RAID workloads
  • 32AWG copper conductors reduce attenuation and crosstalk

Questions about this item

Should I choose a different length or connector layout for my server chassis?

This cable is a fixed 1 metre breakout from one SFF8654 8i port to two SFF8087 4X ports; no other lengths or connector variants are offered for this model.

What does the 12Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in a RAID controller?

It supports SAS 3.0 at 12Gbps per lane, so each of the two 4‑lane SFF8087 links can move up to 48Gbps of aggregate storage bandwidth.

How does the SFF8654 8i interface limit real‑world throughput?

The 8‑lane SFF8654 host port carries eight 12Gbps lanes, and the cable splits them into two 4‑lane SFF8087 connectors without reducing the per‑lane speed.
