SMUGDESK Slimline SAS SFF8654 8i to Dual SFF8654 4i Cable 0.5M

SKU CH-GSTV-8RP92

Splits a single SFF8654 8i port into two SFF8654 4i connections for multichannel storage expansion with anti-misplug keying, 12Gbps bandwidth, 32AWG copper wire, 10Ohm impedance and .5M length

  • Single 8i port splits to dual 4i ports for multichannel storage expansion
  • Anti-misplug keying prevents reverse insertion and protects server hardware
  • 32AWG copper with 10Ohm impedance delivers stable 12Gbps SAS bandwidth
  • .5M compact length enables tidy routing in high-density NVMe backplanes
  • Enterprise-grade shielding minimises crosstalk for reliable RAID controller links

Single 8i port splits to dual 4i

This Slimline SAS breakout cable converts one SFF8654 8i interface into two independent SFF8654 4i ports for multichannel storage expansion. It targets server builders and data-centre technicians adding NVMe SSDs or RAID controllers to high-density backplanes. The 0.5M length keeps internal routing tidy inside compact chassis.

Antimisplug keying prevents reverse insertion

A built-in antimisplug structure blocks incorrect connector orientation, protecting expensive server hardware from physical damage during installation. The 32AWG copper wire is manufactured with precise 10Ohm impedance control to maintain stable 12Gbps signal integrity. Heavy-duty shielding minimises crosstalk across both channels.

Short 0.5M reach suits dense layouts

The half-metre cable fits tight server enclosures but offers no slack for distant drive bays or external enclosures. Installers must verify that both 4i ports align with backplane connectors within this fixed distance. It is not suited for builders who need longer runs or single-port 8i-to-8i continuity.

Questions about this item

What does the 12Gbps rating mean when this cable is installed in a server?

The cable is built to carry 12Gbps SAS signals from one SFF8654 8i port to two SFF8654 4i ports without degrading the link speed.

How does the SFF8654 interface and 10 Ohm impedance affect real-world throughput?

The SFF8654 connector and controlled 10 Ohm impedance keep the 12Gbps signal clean across the .5 metre run, so the link stays at its rated speed.

What clearance and connector space does the .5 metre cable need inside a chassis?

The .5 metre length is made for tight internal routing, and the anti-misplug SFF8654 8i and dual 4i connectors fit standard Slimline SAS backplanes and RAID controllers.
