SMUGDESK MCIO SFF-8654 8i to 8-Port SATA Cable 0.5m

SKU CH-45NA-CYZR0

Converts one SFF-8654 8i MCIO port into eight left-angle SATA connectors for multi-drive server wiring

  • Converts one SFF-8654 8i MCIO port to eight SATA ports
  • 32AWG wire gauge provides high-speed transmission and signal stability
  • Left-angle SATA connectors save internal space in compact chassis
  • 5m length suits internal server and storage wiring
  • Premium construction with anti-interference performance for 24/7 continuous use

Server multi-drive adapter

This 0.5 metre cable converts a single SFF-8654 8i MCIO port into eight independent 7-pin left-angle SATA connectors. It is built for administrators and integrators who need to attach multiple drives inside a server or storage array using one high-density host interface.

Capacity and signal headroom

The 32AWG conductors provide stable high-speed transmission across all eight SATA links simultaneously. Performance scales with the connected drives and controller; the cable itself does not impose a throughput ceiling, but aggregate bandwidth is ultimately limited by the host MCIO lane allocation and drive capabilities.

Upgrade path and fit

It replaces bulky straight-connector breakout cables or multiple individual runs where chassis space is tight. The left-angle design and half-metre length suit dense 24/7 environments; the jump is worthwhile when consolidating cabling in compact servers or JBODs without exceeding the 0.5m reach.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8654 8i connector on this cable mate with my older SATA controller card?

The SFF-8654 8i end plugs directly into a matching MCIO port on a compatible controller or backplane; it does not connect to legacy SATA ports.

How can I verify the 32AWG cable is delivering full speed to all eight drives after installation?

Check each drive's negotiated link rate in the BIOS or OS disk utility — all should report 6 Gb/s with no errors logged during sustained transfers.

Does the 0.5m cable include the eight left-angle SATA data connectors, or must I buy them separately?

The assembly arrives complete with one SFF-8654 8i plug and eight fixed left-angle SATA connectors; no extra parts are required.
