SlimSAS MCIO 38 pin connector splitting into four SATA plugs on a flat cable

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SlimSAS 8654 MCIO 4i 38P to 4 x SATA Cable 19.68 Inches

SKU CH-NAVJ-X83CH

Connects a single MCIO SFF-8654 4i 38-pin host port to four SATA drives at 12 Gbps over 19.68 inches

  • High-density breakout turns one MCIO 8654 4i 38-pin port into four SATA connections
  • PCIe 5.0 compliance delivers stable 12 Gbps throughput for enterprise storage workloads
  • Low-loss wire construction cuts signal attenuation and crosstalk for server-grade reliability
  • 68-inch length allows tidy internal routing in compact rackmount servers and backplanes
  • Plug-and-play design works with mainstream RAID controllers, NAS systems and high-density storage hardware

High-Density Breakout Cable

This 19.68-inch SlimSAS cable converts a single MCIO SFF8654 4i 38pin host port into four SATA ports for multi-drive expansion. It complies with the PCIe 5.0 standard to support stable 12Gbps high-speed data transmission. Low-loss wire construction reduces signal attenuation and crosstalk for reliable server-grade performance.

Suits Compact Server Builds

Builders expanding storage in rackmount servers, RAID arrays or NAS systems will find the short length ideal for neat internal routing. The plug-and-play design works with mainstream RAID controllers and high-density backplanes. Buyers who need more than four SATA connections or a different host interface should look at alternative breakout configurations.

Straightforward Internal Routing

The 19.68-inch length simplifies cable management inside dense chassis without excess slack. Installation requires aligning the 38-pin MCIO connector and four SATA plugs securely to avoid intermittent links. The most common issue is insufficient clearance for the SATA connectors next to adjacent components, so verify spacing before finalising the build.

Questions about this item

Which controller port must my motherboard or RAID card provide for this SFF8654 4i 38pin plug to seat?

The cable requires a single MCIO SFF8654 4lane 38pin host port on the controller or backplane.

Will my existing 6Gbps SATA drives run at full speed when attached to this 12Gbps breakout?

Yes, each SATA port negotiates down to the drive’s native 6Gbps link while the cable maintains 12Gbps capability.

How can I confirm the 12Gbps link is active after connecting four drives to the PCIe 5.0 cable?

Check the RAID controller BIOS or OS utility for a 12Gbps negotiated speed on each attached drive.
