SKU CH-238V-BCNTS

A Gen4 SAS Slim cable breaks out a 74-pin SFF8654 8i connector to dual SFF8643 4i ports for high-density server storage

  • Gen4 Slimline 4.0 bandwidth for RAID controllers and storage backplanes
  • SFF8654 8i 74pin breaks out to dual SFF8643 4i ports for flexible SAS expansion
  • PCIExpress compliant signal integrity enables stable highspeed data transfer
  • Slim compact form factor fits lowprofile highdensity server and storage node layouts
  • Precisionengineered pin alignment delivers lowloss connectivity for enterprise SAS environments

Gen4 Slimline 74-pin adapter

This Gen4 SAS Slim server interconnect cable adapts a PCIE Ultraport Slimline SFF8654 8i 74pin interface to dual Mini SAS HD SFF8643 4i ports. It targets system integrators and administrators upgrading enterprise RAID controllers, HDDs, SSDs or storage backplanes. The breakout design enables high-speed transmission for modern PCIE SAS storage expansion. Builders needing a different pin count or protocol should look elsewhere.

Compact build for dense chassis

A slim compact form factor suits low-profile, high-density server and storage node layouts where internal space is constrained. Precision-engineered pin alignment ensures stable signal integrity and low-loss data transfer across the connection. The cable bridges Slimline Ultraport and Mini SAS HD interfaces without bulky adapters. Installations requiring right-angle connectors or locking latches not described here will need a different cable.

Ready for enterprise integration

The cable arrives as a single interconnect assembly with no additional brackets, screws or software utilities included. Its PCIExpress compliance supports immediate deployment in compatible RAID and backplane environments. No driver installation or firmware update is required for the physical link. Users expecting bundled cable-management clips or diagnostic tools must source them separately.

Questions about this item

What does the SFF8654 8i 74-pin interface support in this Gen4 SAS cable?

The SFF8654 8i 74-pin connector carries eight lanes of Gen4 SAS traffic, linking a single Ultraport Slimline port to two SFF8643 4i Mini SAS HD ports for RAID controllers, HDDs, SSDs and storage backplanes.

What clearance does the slim 74-pin to dual SFF8643 breakout cable need inside a chassis?

The slim compact form factor is designed for low-profile, high-density server and storage node layouts, optimising internal chassis space for tight drive bays and backplane installations.

How do you install the SFF8654 8i to dual SFF8643 cable without damaging the 74-pin connector?

Align the 74-pin Ultraport Slimline plug squarely with the receptacle before pressing straight in; forcing it at an angle bends the precision pins and breaks signal integrity.
