Slimline SFF8654 8i cable splitting upward to dual SFF8643 connectors, .5M length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Mini SAS SFF8654 8i to Dual SFF8643 Upward Cable .5M 24Gbps 32AWG

SKU CH-1X1P-TZ7Z3

Upward-angled breakout cable converts a single SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 port to dual SFF8643 connectors, delivering 24Gbps bandwidth over 32AWG copper for NVMe, SAS and SATA drives in dense server chassis

  • Upward-angled connectors save chassis space and improve airflow
  • PCIe 4.0 breakout converts one SFF8654 8i port to dual SFF8643 ports
  • 24Gbps bandwidth supports NVMe SSDs, SAS and SATA drives
  • 32AWG low-loss copper reduces signal attenuation for reliable links
  • 5 m length keeps routing tidy in dense backplanes

Upward-Angled SFF8654 Breakout Cable

This 0.5 metre cable converts a single PCIe 4.0 SFF8654 8i port into two independent SFF8643 connectors. The upward-angled design saves space and improves airflow inside dense server chassis. It is built for administrators wiring NVMe SSDs, SAS or SATA drives to RAID controllers in high-density backplanes.

Suits Tight 24Gbps Server Deployments

The 32AWG low-loss copper construction supports stable 24Gbps throughput for enterprise storage arrays. Buyers needing longer reach between controllers and drive bays should look elsewhere, as the fixed 19.68 inch length limits routing flexibility in larger enclosures. Systems requiring a straight rather than upward connector orientation will also need a different cable.

Handles Dual-Drive RAID at Full Speed

Each SFF8643 leg delivers the full 24Gbps bandwidth, so a pair of NVMe SSDs or SAS HDDs can run simultaneously without bottleneck. The short harness leaves no headroom for spanning wider chassis or connecting drives across separate shelves; those scenarios demand a longer assembly.

Highlights

  • Upward-angled connectors save chassis space and improve airflow
  • PCIe 4.0 breakout converts one SFF8654 8i port to dual SFF8643 ports
  • 24Gbps bandwidth supports NVMe SSDs, SAS and SATA drives
  • 32AWG low-loss copper reduces signal attenuation for reliable links
  • 5 m length keeps routing tidy in dense backplanes

Questions about this item

What connector must my RAID controller or backplane provide to plug in the SFF8654 8i end of this cable?

The cable needs a single PCIe 4.0 Slimline SFF8654 8i port on the controller or backplane.

Will the dual SFF8643 connectors work with my existing SAS or SATA drives that use the same interface?

Yes, each SFF8643 port carries standard SAS and SATA signals at up to 24Gbps for compatible drives.

How can I verify the link is running at the rated 24Gbps after I connect NVMe SSDs?

Check the controller BIOS or OS tool — each drive should report a 24Gbps link width on its SFF8643 lane.
