SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 to Dual SFF8643 SAS Cable .8m

SKU CH-FN88-D188K

PCIe 4.0 breakout cable converts one SFF8654 8i port to dual SFF8643 SAS connectors for 24Gbps storage links

  • PCIe 4.0 compliant breakout converts one SFF8654 8i port to dual SFF8643 SAS HD ports
  • Delivers stable 24Gbps bandwidth for enterprise SAS HDDs, SSDs and RAID controller systems
  • Upward-angled connectors optimise space-efficient routing inside compact rackmount server chassis
  • Premium 32AWG low-loss copper minimises signal attenuation, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
  • 8 metre practical length fits medium-range internal wiring for workstations and high-density storage nodes

Enterprise Storage Connectivity

The SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 cable converts a single Mini SAS Slimline port into dual SFF8643 SAS HD connections. It targets server administrators and workstation builders expanding internal storage arrays with RAID controllers or enterprise SAS drives. The .8 meter length suits medium-range internal wiring in dense chassis.

Sustained Data Integrity

Premium 32AWG pure copper conductors minimize signal attenuation and crosstalk during continuous 24Gbps transfers. The PCIe 4.0 compliant design maintains stable bandwidth for demanding RAID rebuilds, backup windows and database workloads without the degradation seen in lesser cables under prolonged load.

Space-Saving Build Quality

Upward-angled connectors route cleanly against the motherboard or backplane, preserving airflow in compact rackmount servers. The breakout design eliminates the need for additional adapters while the robust connector shells withstand repeated insertion cycles in high-density storage nodes and custom workstations.

Questions about this item

Does the 32AWG copper construction generate noticeable heat or power draw when the cable runs at 24Gbps all day?

The passive 32AWG copper design adds no active heat or power consumption; only the connected controller and drives draw power during 24Gbps operation.

What controller port and drive connectors must my system already have for this SFF8654 8i to dual SFF8643 cable to work?

You need a single PCIe 4.0 SFF8654 8i port on the RAID controller or HBA and two SAS HD SFF8643 ports on the backplane or drive cages.

Will the upward-angled SFF8643 ends fit alongside older straight SAS cables in a dense rackmount chassis?

Yes, the upward-angled connectors are designed for space-efficient routing and improved airflow in compact servers, allowing them to coexist with legacy straight cables.
