Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i 74-pin male connector splitting to dual SFF-8087 Mini SAS ports, braided shielding sleeve

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF-8654 8i 74Pin to Dual SFF-8087 Mini SAS Breakout Cable

SKU CH-B90M-GQ11V

Splits one SFF-8654 8i 74Pin SlimSAS port into two SFF-8087 Mini SAS connectors for RAID controller and backplane links

  • Splits one SFF-8654 8i 74Pin into dual SFF-8087 ports
  • Delivers 24Gbps per lane via SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0
  • Slim SFF-8654 connector saves chassis space and improves airflow
  • Multi-layer braided shielding with 85Ω impedance ensures lossless signal integrity
  • Gold-plated pins provide stable 24/7 enterprise server connectivity

SlimSAS breakout for server storage

This SMUGDESK breakout cable connects a single SFF-8654 8i 74Pin SlimSAS port to two SFF-8087 Mini SAS interfaces. It is built for system integrators and administrators wiring enterprise RAID controllers to storage backplanes in dense server chassis.

SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0 compliant at 24Gbps

The cable meets SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0 industrial standards, delivering up to 24Gbps per lane for high-throughput disk arrays and NVMe or SATA backplane connections. Multi-layer braided shielding with 85 differential impedance suppresses EMI to maintain signal integrity under continuous heavy load.

Dual-port headroom for legacy backplanes

The 1-to-2 split lets one modern controller drive two independent Mini SAS links, simplifying upgrades in existing racks. It is not suited for direct drive attachment without a backplane or for single-port configurations that require a straight-through cable.

Highlights

  • Splits one SFF-8654 8i 74Pin into dual SFF-8087 ports
  • Delivers 24Gbps per lane via SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0
  • Slim SFF-8654 connector saves chassis space and improves airflow
  • Multi-layer braided shielding with 85Ω impedance ensures lossless signal integrity
  • Gold-plated pins provide stable 24/7 enterprise server connectivity

Questions about this item

What does the 24Gbps per lane figure mean for throughput once the cable is installed in a server?

Each differential pair carries up to 24Gbps, so the eight-lane SFF-8654 link provides high aggregate bandwidth across both SFF-8087 ports for RAID arrays or NVMe backplanes.

How does the SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0 compliance limit the cable's real-world speed?

The cable is built to the SAS 4.0 and PCIe 4.0 specifications with 85 ohm differential impedance, so the practical ceiling is 24Gbps per lane dictated by those standards.

What clearance and connector space does the SFF-8654 74Pin end need to fit inside a chassis?

The slim low-profile SFF-8654 connector occupies minimal internal space, easing routing in dense server racks and improving airflow around the RAID controller.
