SMUGDESK Slimline SAS SFF8654 8i to 8×SATA Cable .5m 24Gbps 32AWG
Converts one SFF8654 8i Slimline SAS port into eight SATA connections with full-housing anti-misplug protection and 32AWG copper for stable 24Gbps bandwidth
- Expands one SFF8654 8i port to eight SATA drives
- Full-housing anti-misplug design prevents reverse insertion damage
- 32AWG copper conductors deliver stable 24Gbps bandwidth
- Precision shielding minimises crosstalk for reliable RAID operation
- Compact .5m length enables tidy routing in dense chassis
Slimline SAS fanout for eight SATA drives
This cable converts a single SFF8654 8i Slimline SAS port into eight independent SATA connectors, enabling high-density storage expansion inside servers and workstations. It targets administrators building multi-drive arrays who need a compact, reliable link between a RAID controller or HBA and standard SATA hard drives or SSDs.
Suited for dense internal routing, not external runs
The .5 metre length and 32AWG copper construction are designed for tidy cable management within rack enclosures and small-form-factor chassis. Builders who need longer reaches, external drive enclosures, or a different port count should look at alternative cable assemblies.
24Gbps bandwidth over a single SFF8654 8i link
The shielded harness supports 24Gbps aggregate throughput across all eight SATA lanes, making it the decisive specification for matching controller performance and drive speed requirements.

Questions about this item
What does the 24Gbps rating mean for my RAID array?
The 24Gbps bandwidth supports steady high-speed transmission across all eight SATA drives simultaneously, maintaining reliable performance for enterprise-grade RAID operations.
How does the SFF8654 8i Slimline SAS interface limit drive speed?
The SFF8654 8i interface carries four SAS lanes that fan out to eight SATA ports, capping each drive at SATA 6Gbps while delivering 24Gbps aggregate throughput.
Will the .5m length and 32AWG cable fit in my 1U server?
The 0.5 metre compact length and thin 32AWG harness are designed for neat internal routing in high-density rack servers and compact workstation chassis.
