Slim SAS SFF8654 8i cable splitting to dual Mini SAS SFF8087 connectors, .5m length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Slim SAS SFF8654 8i to Dual Mini SAS 4X SFF8087 Internal Server Cable .5m 12Gbps 32AWG 10 Ohm

SKU CH-ZAVW-17NXP

Splits a Slim SAS SFF8654 8i port into dual SFF8087 4X channels for 12Gbps server storage expansion

  • Single SFF8654 8i port splits into dual SFF8087 4X channels for multidrive expansion
  • Stable 12Gbps bandwidth supports enterprise RAID, HDD and SSD systems
  • 32AWG copper with precise 10Ohm impedance ensures excellent signal integrity
  • 5m compact length enables clean routing in highdensity server chassis
  • Servergrade shielding minimizes signal loss and crosstalk for reliable operation

Slim SAS SFF8654 8i breakout cable

This breakout cable converts a single Slim SAS SFF8654 8i port into two independent Mini SAS 4X SFF8087 channels. It targets system integrators and server administrators who need to connect modern controllers to legacy backplanes or expand drive counts in dense chassis. The 0.5 metre length keeps internal routing tidy without excess slack.

Sustained 12Gbps signal integrity

Heavy-duty shielding and precisely controlled 10 Ohm impedance suppress crosstalk and electromagnetic interference during continuous high-bandwidth operation. 32AWG copper conductors maintain stable 12Gbps throughput across both branches, preventing the error-rate climb that lighter cables exhibit under prolonged RAID rebuilds or streaming workloads.

SAS interface practical limits

The SAS 12Gbps electrical specification governs maximum link speed, while the SFF8654 and SFF8087 mechanical standards define connector mating cycles and insertion-force limits. Total usable reach is fixed at the supplied 0.5 metre; extending the chain with additional cables would violate impedance budgets and is not supported by this assembly.

Questions about this item

Does the .5 m length keep signal loss low when the cable runs all day at 12 Gbps?

The .5 m run combined with 32 AWG copper and 10 Ohm controlled impedance maintains 12 Gbps integrity without measurable degradation during continuous operation.

Which controller port must I already have for this SFF 8654 8i plug to mate?

You need a Slim SAS SFF 8654 8i host port on your RAID or HBA controller.

Will the dual SFF 8087 4X ends drive my existing Mini SAS backplane without adapters?

Yes, each SFF 8087 4X connector plugs directly into a standard Mini SAS backplane for immediate drive connectivity.
