SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 80cm SlimSAS 8X to 2×oCuLink 4X Cable

SKU CH-Z570-023QF

Connects a 74-pin SFF-8654 8X port to two 36-pin SFF-8611 4X oCuLink ports for NVMe storage expansion

  • Converts 8-lane SlimSAS to dual 4-lane oCuLink for storage expansion
  • Matches Broadcom MPN 056000100CBLSAST115485 for RAID controller compatibility
  • 80cm length enables flexible routing in rackmount servers and enclosures
  • Heavy-duty shielded design reduces crosstalk for reliable enterprise deployments
  • Impedance-matched wiring supports PCIe/SAS 4.0 bandwidth for NVMe SSDs

Connector conversion for enterprise storage

This cable converts an SFF8654 74pin SlimSAS 8X interface into two SFF8611 36pin oCuLink 4X ports. It matches the Broadcom MPN 056000100CBLSAST115485 specification for direct compatibility with supported RAID controllers. The 80cm length is optimised for internal routing in rackmount servers and highdensity enclosures.

Suited for NVMe arrays and Broadcom controllers

Builders expanding NVMe storage on compatible Broadcom RAID controllers will find the pinout and impedance matched for PCIe/SAS 4.0 bandwidth. It is not intended for connections that require a single 8X target or for controllers lacking SFF8654 74pin ports.

Verify controller port and device pinout

Confirm your RAID controller presents an SFF8654 74pin 8X SlimSAS port before ordering. Each target device must accept an SFF8611 36pin 4X oCuLink connection. Check that the 80cm reach fits your chassis routing path and that the controller firmware supports the intended drive topology.

Questions about this item

Does my RAID controller need an SFF8654 74pin SlimSAS 8X port to use this cable?

Yes, the cable connects directly to an SFF8654 74pin SlimSAS 8X port on the controller.

Can I keep using my existing SFF8611 36pin oCuLink 4X backplane with this adapter?

The cable splits into two SFF8611 36pin oCuLink 4X connectors that match your current backplane.

How do I verify the link is running at PCIe/SAS 4.0 speeds after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a reported link width of 8 lanes and a 4.0 generation speed.
