SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe Slimline SAS SFF8654 8i to Dual SFF8087 RightAngle Cable 0.5M

SKU CH-QFXQ-8A6F5

Converts a single SFF8654 8i port into two right-angle SFF8087 ports with anti-misplug keying and 32AWG copper for reliable SAS or SATA connectivity

  • Single SFF8654 8i port splits to dual SFF8087 connectors for compact server builds
  • Anti-misplug keying prevents reverse insertion to protect hardware during assembly
  • Right-angle design saves space and eases routing in low-profile chassis
  • 32AWG low-loss copper with shielding ensures stable high-speed SAS and SATA data transfer
  • 5 m short length reduces clutter and maintains signal integrity in dense storage arrays

Breakout cable for dense chassis

This SMUGDESK cable converts a single PCIe Slimline SAS SFF8654 8i port into two independent SFF8087 ports. It is designed for server and NAS builders who need to connect multiple SAS or SATA drives from one controller slot in space-constrained chassis. The right-angle connectors allow neat routing against backplanes or sidewalls. The .5 metre length keeps internal wiring tidy without excess slack.

Verify connector orientation and clearance

Check that your controller or backplane presents a standard SFF8654 8i receptacle with enough surrounding room for the right-angle plug to seat fully. Confirm the target drives or backplanes use SFF8087 connectors and that the short .5 metre reach spans the distance without strain. The built-in anti-misplug keying prevents reverse insertion, but physical access to the latch must still be possible in your specific enclosure layout.

Replaces straight breakout or longer harnesses

Use this cable when a straight connector fouls adjacent cards or chassis walls, or when a longer harness creates airflow-blocking loops. The right-angle geometry and short 32AWG copper run reduce clutter and improve signal integrity in high-density builds. It is not suited for installations where the controller and drive cages are farther apart than the fixed .5 metre length allows.

Questions about this item

Does the cable include both SFF8087 connectors or do I need to buy a second one separately?

The single cable splits one SFF8654 8i port into two SFF8087 ports so both connectors are already attached and nothing extra is required.

Should I choose a longer cable for a fullsize server case?

The 0.5M length is intended for tight lowprofile chassis; if your drive backplane sits farther from the controller you will need a longer harness.

What does the 32AWG copper rating mean for my RAID array?

32AWG lowloss copper with shielding keeps signal integrity stable at high speeds across the short 0.5M run, reducing errors on SAS or SATA drives.
