SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i to 8 Port 90 Degree SATA Cable .5M 24Gbps
A 0.5 m breakout cable splits one SFF-8654 8i port into eight 90-degree SATA connectors at 24 Gbps
- 90° angled SATA connectors save space in compact chassis
- Full-cover anti-misplug design prevents reverse insertion and hardware damage
- Single SFF-8654 8i port breaks out to 8 independent SATA ports for multi-drive expansion
- 24 Gbps bandwidth supports NVMe SSDs, HDDs and enterprise RAID systems
- 5 m (19.68 in) length enables clean short-range routing in high-density servers
Compact Server Storage Breakout
The SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i cable splits a single Slimline SAS port into eight independent SATA connections, letting administrators add multiple drives to a RAID controller or storage backplane without occupying additional controller slots. It targets server builders who need dense drive expansion inside space-constrained chassis.
90-Degree Connectors and Anti-Misplug Housing
Each SATA plug uses a 90-degree right-angle design that hugs the drive cage, reducing cable strain and freeing internal volume for airflow. A full-cover anti-misplug shroud physically blocks reverse insertion, protecting both the cable and expensive backplane hardware from accidental short circuits during rapid drive swaps.
24Gbps SAS Interface Practical Limits
The link runs at 24Gbps over a .5 metre length, so signal integrity stays strong only across very short internal runs; longer routes would require active repeaters not present here. Bandwidth is shared across all eight SATA targets, so simultaneous heavy NVMe or HDD workloads can saturate the single upstream lane.
