Slimline SAS SFF8654 38-pin to four SATA 7-pin left-angle fanout cable, 1 meter

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 38Pin to 4×SATA 7Pin LeftAngle Cable 1M

SKU CH-Y5MR-8MEVE

A left-angle fanout cable converts a single SFF-8654 38-pin port to four SATA 7-pin drives using 30 AWG copper for stable RAID and multi-drive server storage

  • Left-angle SFF8654 plug saves space in tight server chassis
  • 1-to-4 fanout turns one 38-pin port into four SATA 7-pin drive links
  • 30 AWG low-loss copper keeps data stable under heavy RAID loads
  • Works with RAID controllers, SATA HDDs, SSDs and multi-drive storage systems
  • 1 metre / 39.37 in length fits standard rackmount and workstation layouts

Product Identity

This SMUGDESK fanout cable adapts a single PCIe 4.0 Slimline SAS SFF8654 38Pin port to four standard SATA 7Pin drive connections. It is built for administrators and integrators expanding internal storage in servers or workstations using RAID controllers or host bus adapters. The 30AWG copper conductors and shielding support stable high-speed transmission for enterprise workloads. The 1M length suits standard rackmount layouts.

Fit and Limits

The left-angle SFF8654 plug saves space and improves airflow in compact chassis where straight connectors would obstruct adjacent slots or drive bays. It serves builders who need to connect up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs from one slimline controller port. Systems requiring more than four drive links per port, or a straight-angle connector for specific backplane clearance, need a different cable.

Deciding Specification

The interface conversion is fixed at one SFF8654 38Pin input fanning out to four SATA 7Pin outputs. This pin count and fanout ratio determine whether the cable matches your controller port and drive count exactly. Verify the controller presents a PCIe 4.0 Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 port before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How is the SFF-8654 38-pin connector installed, and which orientation step is often missed?

Align the left-angled SFF-8654 plug with the PCIe 4.0 Slimline SAS port keying, press straight in until the latch clicks, then route the four SATA 7-pin tails toward the drives; the step often missed is confirming the left-angle points toward the chassis sidewall so cables clear adjacent cards.

What maintenance or replacement will this 30 AWG copper fan-out cable need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; inspect the latch tabs and SATA connectors during drive swaps — if any latch feels loose or a pin is bent, replace the entire 1 m assembly.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy RAID workloads?

The four SATA 7-pin links each cap at 6 Gb/s, so aggregate throughput hits the SATA interface ceiling before the 30 AWG copper or shielding shows any degradation.
