SMUGDESK Slimline SAS SFF8654 8i to Dual MCIO 4i Cable .5m 16Gbps
Connects a Slimline SAS SFF8654 8i port to dual MCIO 4i interfaces for NVMe expansion at 16Gbps over .5m
- Splits one SFF8654 8i port into two MCIO 4i interfaces for multi NVMe expansion
- FullCover antimisplug design prevents reverse insertion to protect server hardware from damage
- Premium copper wire harness delivers stable 16Gbps transmission for enterprise NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers
- 5m compact length enables clean routing inside highdensity rack servers and workstation chassis
- Precision shielded construction minimises signal loss and crosstalk for consistent data center performance
Slimline SAS Breakout Cable
This SMUGDESK cable splits a single SFF8654 8i port into two independent MCIO 4i interfaces for multi-NVMe expansion inside servers and workstations. The .5 metre length keeps routing tidy in high-density chassis while the full-cover antimisplug design prevents reverse insertion. Premium copper conductors deliver 16 Gbps bandwidth for enterprise SSDs and RAID controllers.
Who This Suits
Builders expanding NVMe storage from one SFF8654 8i connector to two MCIO 4i endpoints in compact rack servers or workstations will benefit from the short harness and protected plug geometry. Installers who need longer reach for full-height enclosures or who require a different breakout ratio should look at alternative cable assemblies.
Deciding Specification
The cable carries a 16 Gbps signal rate over copper between one SFF8654 8i plug and two MCIO 4i receptacles, so the controller and drives must both support this speed for the link to operate as intended.

Questions about this item
What bandwidth does the SFF-8654 8i interface on this cable support?
The cable is rated for 16Gbps high-speed transmission across the SFF-8654 8i to dual MCIO 4i breakout for NVMe expansion.
What physical space and connector clearance does the 0.5m cable need inside a server chassis?
The 0.5m length and slimline SFF-8654 8i to dual MCIO 4i connectors are designed for clean routing in high-density rack servers and compact workstation chassis.
How do I correctly install the FullCover anti-misplug connectors on this cable?
Align each MCIO 4i plug with its port using the FullCover anti-misplug structure, which prevents reverse insertion, then seat both ends firmly to ensure stable 16Gbps signal integrity.
