SMUGDESK SFF-8654 8i to Dual SFF-8654 4i SAS Cable .5m

SKU CH-HMDG-4J8Y0

Splits one SFF-8654 8i port into two SFF-8654 4i ports for 12G SAS and NVMe storage expansion in tight server chassis

  • Splits one 8654 8i port into two 8654 4i ports for storage expansion
  • Delivers stable 12G bandwidth for NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers
  • Ultraslim lowprofile design optimises airflow in compact rackmount servers
  • Precisionshielded wiring minimises crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
  • 5m short length suits tight internal routing in small form factor chassis

Breakout cable for storage expansion

This PCIe SlimSAS cable splits one SFF-8654 8i port into two SFF-8654 4i ports. It connects NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers in servers and workstations. The .5 metre length suits tight internal routing in compact chassis. Builders needing longer runs or different connector types must look elsewhere.

12G bandwidth with dual 4i ports

Each 4i branch delivers 12G bandwidth for high-speed NVMe storage and RAID arrays. The short .5 metre run keeps signal loss low in dense configurations. Systems requiring more than two 4i connections or external drive enclosures exceed this cable's capacity.

Low-profile shielded construction

Precision-shielded conductors reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference for reliable data transfer. The ultra-slim low-profile design preserves airflow in rackmount servers. Installers working in spacious full-tower cases or needing right-angle connectors will find the straight low-profile plugs less convenient.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8654 8i end fit into the same slot my current RAID controller uses?

The cable presents one SFF-8654 8i connector that mates with any standard SFF-8654 8i port on a RAID controller or motherboard.

How can I verify the link is running at 12G speeds after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or operating-system drive utilities; they will report a negotiated 12G link for each attached NVMe device.

Does the package include the two SFF-8654 4i cables or only the single 8i breakout?

The box contains the complete breakout assembly — one SFF-8654 8i plug splitting directly into two SFF-8654 4i plugs — no extra cables are required.
