SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SlimSAS LP SFF-8654 8i 74-pin to 8×SATA 7-pin 90° .8 m 30 AWG

SKU CH-21FH-8HFHD

Connects a single 74-pin SFF-8654 8i port to eight 90-degree SATA connectors using 30 AWG copper wire over a .8 m length

  • Low-profile SlimSAS fits tight server chassis
  • 74-pin SFF-8654 8i splits to eight SATA ports
  • 90-degree connectors ease routing and cut strain
  • 30 AWG copper keeps high-speed signals stable
  • .8 m length suits dense backplane wiring

Compact server storage cable

This SlimSAS low-profile harness connects a single SFF-8654 8i 74-pin port to eight 90-degree SATA 7-pin connectors. The .8 m length and 30 AWG copper construction suit dense rackmount chassis and internal storage expansions. It targets administrators wiring high-density backplanes or building NAS appliances.

Single 74-pin SFF-8654 8i interface

The cable requires a host controller or backplane presenting exactly one SFF-8654 8i 74-pin receptacle. Each of the eight breakout leads terminates in a right-angle SATA plug, so the receiving drives or backplane must accept standard 7-pin SATA data connectors. Systems lacking this specific SlimSAS port cannot use the harness.

Right-angle SATA plugs and short length

The 90-degree SATA ends let cables run parallel to drive PCBs, reducing bend radius and freeing vertical clearance in 1U or 2U servers. The .8 m reach keeps slack minimal inside crowded enclosures, while 30 AWG conductors maintain signal integrity across all eight lanes. Buyers needing longer runs or straight SATA heads should select a different harness.

Questions about this item

What throughput can I expect when the SFF-8654 8i end is plugged into a RAID card?

The cable itself is passive copper; real-world throughput is capped by the RAID card and the SATA drives attached, not by the harness.

Does the SFF-8654 8i interface carry SAS or SATA signalling?

The SFF-8654 8i connector carries SAS lanes; the breakout converts each lane to a native SATA 7-pin link for the drives.

How much clearance does the low-profile 74-pin plug need above the motherboard?

The LP plug sits close to the board; allow roughly the height of the angled SATA heads plus a few millimetres for the latch.
