SFF-8654 8i to eight straight SATA connectors, 19.68in breakout cable

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i to 8× SATA SAS Cable 19.68in 12Gbps 30AWG 100Ohm

SKU CH-CG53-D4VDZ

Breaks one SFF-8654 8i port into eight straight SATA connectors for 12 Gbps server storage

  • 8-channel breakout turns one SFF-8654 8i port into eight SATA drives
  • 12 Gbps bandwidth keeps enterprise HDD and SSD arrays running at full speed
  • 30 AWG copper with 100 ohm impedance cuts signal loss and crosstalk
  • Straight SATA connectors give clean, space-efficient routing inside dense chassis
  • 68 inch length fits high-density server and RAID expansion perfectly

8-Channel Breakout Cable for Enterprise Storage

The SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i breakout cable converts a single Slimline SAS port into eight straight SATA connectors. It is built for server administrators and integrators expanding internal HDD or SSD arrays in dense chassis environments.

Suited for RAID Arrays and High-Density Servers

This cable fits 12Gbps SAS backplanes and direct-attached storage configurations where multiple drives share one controller port. It is not intended for consumer desktop boards lacking SFF8654 ports or for external drive enclosures requiring different connector types.

30AWG Copper with 100Ohm Impedance Control

Premium 30AWG conductors and strict 100ohm impedance matching reduce crosstalk across the 19.68inch run. The straight SATA ends simplify routing in tight server bays, freeing space for airflow and additional storage devices.

Questions about this item

Does my backplane need an SFF8654 8i port to use this cable?

Yes, the cable plugs into a single SFF8654 8i Slimline SAS port and breaks out to eight straight SATA connectors.

Will this work with 6 Gbps SATA drives I already have?

The cable supports 12 Gbps SAS bandwidth and is backward compatible with 6 Gbps SATA hard drives and SSDs.

How can I verify the 12 Gbps link is active after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS storage utility; each drive should report a 12 Gbps negotiated link speed.
