Low-profile SlimSAS cable with single 8i to dual 4i connectors, 12G SAS NVMe support

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SlimSAS LP SFF8654 8i to Dual SFF8654 4i Cable 12G

SKU CH-RCY2-CEC6M

Low-profile SlimSAS cable splits one SFF8654 8i port into two SFF8654 4i ports for 12Gbps NVMe and SAS storage expansion

  • Low-profile design fits space-restricted server enclosures
  • Single SFF8654 8i splits into two independent SFF8654 4i ports
  • Supports stable 12Gbps data transfer for RAID cards and NVMe SSDs
  • 1meter length enables flexible routing inside rackmount chassis
  • Anti-interference shielding minimises signal loss for enterprise-grade reliability

Compact Server Connectivity

This lowprofile SlimSAS cable converts a single SFF8654 8i port into two independent SFF8654 4i connections. It is designed for administrators upgrading highdensity storage enclosures or deploying NVMe SSD arrays in spacerestricted server chassis. The one meter length suits standard internal routing without excess slack.

Sustained Signal Integrity

Heavy duty shielding suppresses crosstalk and electromagnetic interference during continuous 12Gbps data streams. The construction maintains stable throughput for RAID controllers and backplanes under prolonged enterprise workloads. Signal loss remains minimal across the full cable run inside active rackmount environments.

Straightforward Internal Routing

The lowprofile connectors seat cleanly in tight backplane bays and RAID card brackets typical of dense server builds. Installers should verify the 8i source and dual 4i target pinouts match their specific hardware before closing the chassis. Mismatched port widths or reversed orientation are the most common causes of link negotiation failures.

Questions about this item

Does the 12Gbps SlimSAS cable add noticeable heat or power draw when running continuously in a server?

The passive cable itself draws no power and generates no measurable heat; only the connected RAID card or backplane determines thermal load.

What controller or backplane must I already have to use the single SFF8654 8i to dual SFF8654 4i split?

You need a RAID card, HBA or backplane with an SFF8654 8i port that supports 12G SAS or NVMe signalling.

Will the 1‑metre low‑profile SlimSAS assembly work reliably with older 6G SAS drives and backplanes?

Yes, the 12G cable is backward compatible and will carry 6G traffic without signal degradation.
