SMUGDESK SlimSAS SFF8654 8i 74P to LP 8X 24Gbps .5M

SKU CH-BRV1-1Q2FR

Low-profile SFF-8654 74-pin to LP 8X cable delivers 24 Gbps SAS and NVMe links in 0.5 m length

  • Low-profile SFF8654 8i 74pin to LP 8X direct link fits slim server builds
  • 85Ohm 30AWG copper harness delivers stable 24Gbps PCIe transmission
  • Compact .5M length keeps internal routing tidy in high-density racks
  • Slim design improves chassis airflow for tight workstation layouts
  • Anti-interference shielding cuts crosstalk for NVMe SSDs, RAID controllers and SAS/SATA drives

Direct Low-Profile Connection

This cable links an SFF8654 8i 74pin port directly to an LP 8X interface inside slim servers and compact chassis. The short .5M length keeps internal routing tidy in high-density rack servers, NAS units and NVMe backplanes. Its low-profile design improves airflow and saves space for tight workstation and enterprise storage layouts. Builders needing longer reach or a different connector pairing should choose another harness.

24Gbps Headroom on 30AWG Copper

Precision-matched 85Ohm impedance on 30AWG copper wire delivers stable 24Gbps PCIe-compliant transmission with minimal signal attenuation. The harness comfortably handles NVMe SSDs, RAID controllers and SAS or SATA drives in dense configurations. Runs out of length for full-height chassis or wider backplane spans beyond 19.68 inches. Not suited for external links or non-PCIe signalling environments.

Replaces Bulky Legacy Harnesses

Swaps out older, thicker internal cables that restrict airflow and clutter tight bays in compact servers and workstation upgrades. The jump is worth it when density, signal integrity at 24Gbps and low-profile clearance matter for NVMe or RAID deployments. Buyers who need active signal boosting, optical reach or a different pin-out will not be served by this passive copper assembly.

Questions about this item

Will the 74-pin SFF8654 8i connector fit the LP 8X port on my existing RAID controller?

Yes, the cable is built for direct SFF8654 8i 74-pin to LP 8X connection, matching the pinout and 85Ohm impedance required by those interfaces.

How can I confirm the link is running at the rated 24Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS device tree for a negotiated 24Gbps link speed and verify zero CRC errors during sustained NVMe or SAS traffic.

Does the 0.5M harness include any adapters or brackets, or is it just the cable?

The package contains only the SlimSAS low-profile cable with 30AWG copper conductors and shielding; no extra adapters, brackets or screws are supplied.
