Blue cable with one SFF-8654 connector splitting to eight right-angle SATA plugs, 0.8 m length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF8654 8i to 8x SATA 90° Cable .8m 24Gbps

SKU CH-60Z3-Q2F9R

Breaks one SFF-8654 8i port into eight 90° SATA connectors with anti-misplug protection for 24 Gbps NVMe, SAS and SATA drives

  • Converts one SFF-8654 8i port to eight SATA drives for massive storage expansion
  • Full-cover anti-misplug design prevents reverse insertion and protects hardware during installation
  • Delivers stable 24Gbps bandwidth for NVMe, SAS and SATA drives in RAID systems
  • 90-degree right-angle SATA connectors save space and improve airflow in compact chassis
  • 8m length enables tidy cable routing in rackmount servers and storage backplanes

SFF8654 8i breakout to eight SATA

This cable adapts a single PCIe Slimline SAS SFF8654 8i port into eight right‑angle SATA connectors. It is built for server and workstation builders who need dense multi‑drive expansion without adding extra host‑bus adapters. The .8 metre length keeps routing tidy inside standard rackmount chassis.

Replaces direct‑attach SATA or older breakout cables

When a backplane or RAID controller offers only an SFF8654 8i interface, this assembly removes the need for multiple discrete cables and eliminates mis‑insertion risk with its full‑cover anti‑misplug design. The upgrade is worth it when 24 Gbps bandwidth is required for NVMe, SAS or SATA drives in high‑density arrays.

Suits integrators populating 2.5‑inch bays in 1U

The 90‑degree SATA plugs save vertical clearance and improve airflow in tight enclosures. Builders who need straight‑through SATA connectors, longer reach than 31.49 inches, or connectivity for non‑SATA protocols should look at a different cable.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 90° SATA connector add behind the drive?

The right-angle SATA connectors sit flush against the drive body, keeping the cable bend inside the 0.8 m run so it fits tight backplanes and 1 U trays without extra depth.

Which side of the SFF-8654 8i plug faces up when seating it in a PCIe Slimline port?

The full-cover anti-misplug shroud only mates one way; align the keyed notch with the port tab and press straight in until the latch clicks — forcing it the other way is the common error.

When should the cable be replaced in a 24 Gbps RAID array?

Swap it if the latch tabs crack, the 90° SATA ends loosen, or SMART logs show rising CRC errors on any of the eight lanes after reseating both ends.
