SKU CH-4QVR-RG16G

Converts a single SFF-8654 8i Slimline SAS port into eight straight SATA connectors for high-density multi-drive storage expansion

  • Converts one SFF-8654 8i port to eight SATA drives
  • 12Gbps bandwidth supports high-speed RAID arrays and SSDs
  • 30AWG copper with 100Ohm impedance preserves signal integrity
  • Straight connectors fit directly into dense server chassis
  • 37in length enables clean internal cable routing

Internal Multi-Drive Breakout Cable

This new SMUGDESK breakout cable converts a single SFF8654 8i Slimline SAS port into eight straight SATA connectors for high-density server and workstation storage expansion. It supports 12Gbps bandwidth for SAS and SATA hard drives, SSDs and RAID controllers.

Suits Rackmount Server Builders

Builders populating standard rackmount chassis with multiple SATA drives will appreciate the straight-connector layout that enables direct, space-saving installation. Users who need right-angle SATA plugs for tight drive-cage clearances or who require an external enclosure interface should look at a different cable style.

12Gbps 100Ohm Impedance Rating

The 30AWG copper conductors are manufactured to a precise 100Ohm impedance specification that maintains signal integrity at the full 12Gbps data rate across the 39.37in length. This controlled-impedance construction is the key determinant of reliable multi-drive performance.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the cable is delivering 12Gbps transfer rates after installation?

Check the RAID controller or HBA management interface for negotiated link speed showing 12Gbps on each of the eight SATA ports and run a sustained read/write test across multiple drives to confirm throughput.

What comes with the cable and do I need any extra brackets or adapters?

The package contains the single SFF8654 8i to eight straight SATA breakout cable; no additional brackets, adapters or power cables are included.

Which version of this breakout cable should I choose for a standard 1U server chassis?

The 39.37in straight connector model is optimised for direct internal routing in standard rackmount chassis without angle restrictions.
