SMUGDESK SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i 74pin to 8 SATA .8m

SKU CH-XSXF-9YFVM

A low-profile SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i 74pin breakout cable splits one host port into eight SATA ports using 100Ohm impedance and 30AWG copper over .8m for dense server storage expansion

  • LowProfile SlimSAS design fits space-restricted server chassis
  • Single SFF-8654 8i 74pin port breaks out to eight SATA ports
  • Strict 100Ohm controlled impedance maintains stable signal integrity
  • 30AWG copper conductors enable flexible internal routing
  • .8meter length optimised for short-range high-density wiring

PCIe SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i 74pin breakout

This PCIe SlimSAS cable converts a single SFF-8654 8i 74pin host port into eight SATA connectors. The low-profile design fits slim, space-restricted server and workstation chassis. Controlled 100Ohm impedance and 30AWG copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the .8m length. It is built for high-density storage expansion and backplane connections.

Suits dense multi-drive arrays.

Builders expanding a single host port to eight drives in a compact chassis will use this cable. It supports HDDs, SSDs and RAID arrays requiring broad SATA connectivity. Installations needing only one or two SATA links, or a different host connector, should select a matching breakout. The fixed .8m reach is tailored for short internal routing.

SFF-8654 8i 74pin host interface

The cable requires a PCIe SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i 74pin port on the host side to function. Eight standard SATA ports on the breakout end accept drive or backplane connections. Verify the host controller presents this exact 74pin interface before ordering. The 100Ohm impedance specification supports stable high-speed data transfer.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.8 m cable include any drive trays or SATA power adapters, or must those be purchased separately?

Only the SFF-8654 8i to 8 SATA breakout cable is supplied; drive trays and SATA power cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

When should I choose this 0.8 m SFF-8654 8i cable instead of a longer variant for my server?

Choose the 0.8 m length when the host port and backplane are close together in a low-profile chassis, as the short run reduces clutter and maintains the 100 Ohm controlled impedance.

What does the 100 Ohm controlled impedance mean for real-world transfer stability with eight SATA drives?

The 100 Ohm impedance matches the SAS/SATA signalling specification, minimising reflections and crosstalk so each of the eight lanes sustains its rated throughput without errors.
