SMUGDESK 80cm SlimSAS SFF8654 4i to SFF8639 U.2 Cable with SATA 15Pin Power

SKU CH-Q9K2-RWWAM

Connects U.2 NVMe SSDs to SFF8654 4i SlimSAS ports with an 80 cm shielded cable and SATA 15 pin power branch

  • Connect NVMe U.2 SSDs via SlimSAS SFF8654 4i host ports
  • 80 cm shielded cable maintains signal integrity for PCIe and SAS traffic
  • Locking latches on both ends prevent accidental disconnection in servers
  • SATA 15-pin power branch delivers stable power to U.2 drives
  • Driver-free hardware link works immediately in workstations and DIY NAS builds

SlimSAS 80 cm cable with SATA power

This 80 cm SlimSAS cable converts an SFF8654 4i port to an SFF8639 U.2 interface for NVMe or SAS SSD connections. A built-in SATA 15pin power branch supplies stable power to the drive. Shielded construction and locking latches maintain signal integrity inside server and workstation chassis.

Builders adding U.2 storage to SlimSAS hosts

Suits administrators upgrading server storage or expanding workstation capacity where a SlimSAS header is present. The integrated power lead removes the need for a separate power cable. Buyers whose controllers lack SFF8654 4i headers or who require M.2 or PCIe add-in card interfaces should look at other adapter types.

Handles one U.2 NVMe or SAS SSD per cable

Each assembly connects a single U.2 drive to a SlimSAS 4i lane with dedicated auxiliary power. The 80 cm length fits typical rack and tower routing. Systems needing multiple U.2 devices require one cable per drive and sufficient SlimSAS ports on the host controller.

Questions about this item

What host connector must my motherboard or controller have to plug in the SFF8654 4i end?

The cable needs a SlimSAS SFF8654 4i header on the host side, found on many server-grade RAID cards and motherboards.

Will this cable power a U.2 SSD that previously used a backplane without an extra power lead?

Yes, the integrated SATA 15pin branch supplies the drive directly, so no backplane power is required.

How can I verify the link is running at full speed after installation?

The drive should appear in the OS at its rated PCIe generation and the controller BIOS should show a healthy SAS link.
