  • Splits one SFF-8654 4i host port into four independent SAS channels
  • Compliant with SAS 4.0 standard for up to 24 Gbps per-channel bandwidth
  • Latching connectors lock securely to resist vibration in server chassis
  • Shielded construction maintains signal integrity under sustained heavy loads
  • Driver-free plug-and-play with HBA and RAID controllers

SFF8654 4I Breakout Cable

This SFF8654 4I SlimSAS breakout cable splits a single host port into four independent SAS channels. It complies with the SAS 4.0 standard and delivers 24Gbps per-channel bandwidth for high-throughput storage workloads. Latching connectors resist vibration in server chassis and storage backplane installations. No driver installation is required for SAS HBA or RAID controller use.

Suited for internal server storage expansion

Builders adding up to four SAS drives to an HBA or RAID card with an SFF8654 4I interface will find this cable a direct fit. It is not for systems that need power delivered through the cable, nor for hosts equipped with SFF8643, MCIO or other non-matching connectors. Buyers without a separate power source for each drive must look elsewhere.

SAS 4.0 at 24Gbps per channel

The cable is built to the SAS 4.0 specification and rated for 24Gbps signal transmission on each of the four breakout lanes. Shielded construction suppresses crosstalk and electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity under heavy load. Verify that your controller provides an SFF8654 4I SlimSAS port before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 24Gbps SAS 4.0 cable generate noticeable heat when running all day inside a server rack?

The cable is a passive signal assembly; it carries data only and does not produce measurable heat during continuous operation.

What separate equipment must I already own to power the SAS drives this breakout cable connects?

The cable cannot deliver power; each SAS drive requires its own power supply or backplane power connection.

Will this SFF8654 4I breakout work with the SFF8643 Mini SAS HD ports on my older HBA card?

No, the SFF8654 4I host connector is physically and electrically incompatible with SFF8643 ports.
