Black flat SlimSAS cable with SFF-8654 8i and 8X connectors, 1m length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i to 8X 24Gbps 85Ω 1m

SKU CH-SR65-PTXF0

Low-profile SlimSAS cable connects SFF-8654 8i to 8X at 24 Gbps with 85 Ω impedance control and anti-misplug keying for dense server NVMe storage

  • Low-profile flat-to-flat design fits compact server builds
  • 85 Ω impedance-matched wire delivers stable 24 Gbps PCIe transmission
  • Anti-misplug keying prevents reverse insertion and hardware damage
  • Black flat cable improves airflow and tidy routing in dense racks
  • 1 m enterprise-grade shielding minimises crosstalk for NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers

Compact Server Connectivity

This new SlimSAS cable links an SFF-8654 8i port to an 8X counterpart for internal server and workstation builds. The low-profile flat design fits dense chassis while preserving airflow paths. It targets administrators expanding NVMe storage arrays or attaching RAID controllers in space-constrained racks.

Fit and Limitations

It suits technicians who need a direct flat-to-flat link with anti-misplug keying to prevent reverse insertion during maintenance. Builders requiring angled connectors, longer runs, or external bulkhead connections should look at other cable types.

Deciding Specification

The 85 Ohm impedance-matched conductors sustain 24 Gbps PCIe-compliant signalling across the one metre length. Shielding suppresses crosstalk so NVMe SSDs and storage backplanes operate at rated throughput without signal degradation.

Highlights

  • Low-profile flat-to-flat design fits compact server builds
  • 85 Ω impedance-matched wire delivers stable 24 Gbps PCIe transmission
  • Anti-misplug keying prevents reverse insertion and hardware damage
  • Black flat cable improves airflow and tidy routing in dense racks
  • 1 m enterprise-grade shielding minimises crosstalk for NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers

Questions about this item

How far can I run this SFF-8654 cable at 24Gbps before signal loss becomes a limit?

The 1 metre length is engineered with 85 Ohm impedance control and heavy shielding to maintain stable 24Gbps PCIe transmission without signal degradation over that distance.

Will this flat SlimSAS cable add noticeable heat or restrict airflow when routed inside a fully loaded server chassis all day?

The low-profile flat design is intended to optimise airflow and tidy routing in high-density racks, so it does not trap heat or block cooling paths during continuous operation.

Which controller or backplane connectors must my system already have for this SFF-8654 8i to 8X cable to work?

You need a host-side SFF-8654 8i port and a target-side SFF-8654 8X receptacle, as found on modern NVMe backplanes, RAID controllers or PCIe switch cards.
