  • Low-profile design fits slim server and half-height card spaces
  • Single SFF8654 8i port breaks out to dual SFF8087 MiniSAS ports
  • 12 Gbps bandwidth supports enterprise RAID arrays and drive systems
  • 30 AWG pure copper conductors reduce signal loss, crosstalk and EMI
  • 1 m length enables tidy internal routing in compact chassis

SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i Breakout Cable

This new SMUGDESK cable connects a single SFF8654 8i port to two SFF8087 MiniSAS ports for internal server storage expansion. It is built for slim, lowprofile chassis and halfheight expansion cards where space is tight. The 1m length supports neat cable routing in compact enterprise hardware deployments.

Fits Slim Servers; Not Standard Brackets

The lowprofile design suits builders working with dense, slimformfactor servers and controllers needing 12Gbps SAS bandwidth. It uses 30AWG copper conductors with shielding to minimise signal loss and interference. Buyers needing a fullheight bracket connection or a different port configuration should look at other cable types.

Single SFF8654 8i to Dual SFF8087

The defining specification is the breakout from one SFF8654 8i connector to two SFF8087 connectors. This specific pinout and form factor determines compatibility with your controller and backplane. Verify your hardware requires this exact interface combination before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1 m or 39.37 in length for my server?

Both figures describe the same cable; 1 m equals 39.37 in, so there is no separate version to pick.

What does the 12 Gbps rating mean once the cable is installed?

It sets the maximum SAS lane speed; each SFF8087 connector carries four lanes at up to 12 Gbps per lane.

How does the SFF8654 8i to SFF8087 interface affect real-world throughput?

The breakout splits one 8i port into two 4i MiniSAS links, so total bandwidth is shared across both SFF8087 connectors.
